Connecting something with an ethernet port to wi-fi - HTF?

rlw

Simple question.  A recent new toy has an ethernet port but I can only connect via wi-fi so what do I need by way of an adaptor to to plug into the ethernet port to make the connection.

I have googled and looked but am left with some doubts?

Do you have a router that you can plug into with a standard network cable?  I presume not, but thought best to ask!

Or would one of these do the job?

You'll need a 'bridge'.  There are many about ; https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=ethernet+wifi+bridge&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

You may find that the new toy can accept a USB WiFi dongle instead of going through the ethernet port.  Check the documentation.

Brilliant. Thank you.  Like all this stuff, it;s knowing what it's called   Simply knowing what you want to do isn't enough.

The nearest physical connection is some distance anyway and the little dongle things looks perfect.. I've ordered one now. We have good wi-fi in the basement for the radio so this ought to work equally well and I will be able to listen to my favourite Americana station 24/7 in hi-fi.

The alternative is one of the mains extender plugs.

I got one of the mains extender things recently and it is fantastic. I was dubious but I get full speed through the plug.
