Review: Perfect tool for some - If you have a wireless router and need to connect wired devices at a distance, without running a long cable, this product provides the answer--maybe the only answer. It has an antenna to connect to the wireless router and a LAN port that behaves like one of the wired LAN ports of the router. You can connect a single device such as a printer or computer, or you can connect another router or switch and create a local wired network extension to which you can connect multiple wired devices. Given the street price of multi-function routers, the price of this wireless bridge is higher than I'd expect, but I figure that's likely because the volume of production is much smaller. I gave it four stars rather than five because setting it up is a little tricky, but once it is properly configured, it works very well. Review: Economical, but quirky and dated - This device is great in concept, and this particular model was an excellent choice a couple of years ago. The concept is still great, but there are better choices out there than this one. The main problem is that the technology is out of date. Being purely 802.11b, this still runs at 11Mb/s best case, and maybe half that speed in actual use. There are other 802.11a and 802.11g options that are several times as fast. Other specific issues I had with this model, and the reasons I say it's quirky, are: a) It couldn't connect to my access point unless the access point broadcast its SSID. If both devices have the same SSID this shouldn't be necessary, and is less secure. b) If you want to use a channel other than 6, you need to change it from infrastructure to ad-hoc mode, change the channel, and then change it back to infrastructure more. c) It couldn't connect to my access point if the access point was in "mixed 802.11b/g" mode. I had to switch the access point to 802.11b only. If I were to buy another wireless bridge I'd get one that's 802.11g compatible. ## Features - Capable of up to 128-Bit WEP encryption - Easily configurable through your Web browser - Works without drivers on Macintosh, Windows, PlayStation2, Xbox, Linux, network printers--anything with an Ethernet port - Converts wired-Ethernet devices to wireless network connectivity - Provides wireless, cable-free bridging between remote workgroups ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000066JQU | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,697 in Computer Networking Wireless Access Points | | Brand | Linksys | | Compatible Devices | Printer | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (86) | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet, IEEE 802 11b | | Data Transfer Rate | 11 Megabits Per Second | | External Testing Certification | FCC Class B | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00745883552221, 00745883552856, 04260039340911 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet | | Item Part Number | WET11FR, WET11UK | | Item Weight | 0.44 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Linksys | | Mfr Part Number | WET11 | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah, Windows 2000 Professional | | Model Number | WET11 | | UPC | 745883552856 745883552221 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Linksys - **Compatible Devices:** Printer - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** Ethernet, IEEE 802 11b - **Data Transfer Rate:** 11 Megabits Per Second - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00745883552221, 00745883552856, 04260039340911 - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet - **Item Weight:** 0.44 Pounds - **Minimum Required Operating System Version:** Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah, Windows 2000 Professional - **UPC:** 745883552856 745883552221 ## Images ![Cisco-Linksys WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xP+z1sU4L.jpg) ![Cisco-Linksys WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817w4yu1EvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use this unit with an alarm system. Panel requires the router to port forward the ip. will this work in that setup?** A: This is a bridge and not a router. Port forwarding is done from the router. That said - yes, the setup is possible. However, this is an ancient wireless-B bridge with broken security. It would seem like a bad idea to hook this up to a security system. **Q: I am a teacher and would like to wirelessly connect lap equipment with the wireless sensors. I do not want them to have internet. Will this work?** A: Hi there. It depends on the wireless technology that your wireless sensors support. Your sensors could be possibly connected via WI-Fi or through Zigbee. If you have a wireless router where these sensors are connected, then you'll be able to use the WET11 for your lab equipment. But if you don't, then this will not work. **Q: dose it work with satellite receiver?** A: I use it as a wireless bridge between two Blu-ray players (Sony and Panasonic) and my WRT160N Linksys router. It works fine. You'll have to experiment to see whether it would work with your particular satellite receiver--maybe ask the receiver manufacturer or Cisco. **Q: Can this device be used to provide a cell phone's Wi-Fi signal to a device that requires an ethernet connection?** A: Hi Anthony. If your phone is configured as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, then this wireless ethernet bridge should work as it will connect to your phone's wireless connection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect tool for some *by T***P on July 7, 2007* If you have a wireless router and need to connect wired devices at a distance, without running a long cable, this product provides the answer--maybe the only answer.

I am very pleased with this product and it works as I had expected. Setting it up was a breeze. The antenna is screwed on to the right side of the unit (which is surprisingly small). Plug in the power supply. I then hooked it up to a PC laptop with the supplied RJ45 cable and ran the setup program. I have an SMC Barricade 7004AWBR router with a built in wireless access point. The WET11 was configured to use the same SSID and channel as the SMC and then set to DHCP. All done. The unit can then be connected to your ethernet device in one of two ways. One is directly to your desktop or laptop, for example. The other is to hook it up to a hub or switch and from there wire it up to one or more desktops or even laptops. There is a switch on the unit to select which mode will be used. While I do have a wireless card for the laptop, it's nice to have the flexibility of going wired for desktops. The icing on the cake is that I now have wireless connectivity for my Mac Beige G3. I've been looking for a solution and the WET11 solves it. Before, I had to run a long RJ45 cable to it from the router. Now I can connect it to the WET11 through either of the two options mentioned and get on the web as before, except it's now wireless. One tip - set the Mac to a manual IP address. For some reason, setting the Mac for DHCP does not work. For me a very minor issue. I have not seen any dropped connections for the few days I've had it and it sure runs cool. All in all, it has met my expectations, perhaps more so with the Mac. For the money, I see no comparable product out there.
