Remote device problem?

Thanks in advance.

I need to connect a device that is designed to communicate with a network
via a wire. Because of it's location we need to go wireless. The device
only has an Ethernet connection and not a usb port or slot of any kind. Is
there a device that will acquire an address wirelessly and hand it off to
this device via a cat5 connection?

Again thanks,

Dave H.

Hi

Assuming that you have a Wireless source.

You can get an Access Point that can be configured as a Client.

Example,

Or a Group Bridge Example,

An Access Point is much more flexible in what it can do.
