@User Nick, are you saying that I can create a WiFi connection between this thing and my Verizon MiFi, then take the ethernet port and connect it to my regular router/switch to provide internet to all my lab?
u
Yepp, that´s what he told me, check our conversation yesterday. That what I will do for my Master Class, converting hotel WiFi to Wired that goes into my EdgeRouter Lite

Crap - Hold up guys. I may have lied to you

I just tested with the device. The ethernet port is for Internet IN. I thought I had tested that in the past but I guess I didn't. Essentially it has two modes, Wireless in, this is where it can connect to the Verizon MiFi. It then access as a WiFi hotspot to create a local wifi network. You also can connect it to a wired internet connection and create a wifi hotspot for a local wifi network. I thought for sure the ethernet port could be used the other way as well, but it doesn't seem to work that way

My apologies for th emiss-information

It still is a really cool device, especially because the usb port can handle a thumbdrive with media on it. It acts as a media server. As I said previously, I used it in the car for road trips. Connect it to 5v micro usb in the car, my kids devices connected to it via wifi and they all streamed movies/tv shows from the usb drive as we drove down the road. Unfortunately, in the scenario you are talking it might not be the solution.

That being said.. I am now in the market for the same thing you guys are since I have a demo I am going to need to do for a mobile demo kit as well.

Can I convert the wireless network to an Ethernet connection via TripMate? (WAN / LAN port) No, the Ethernet port on TripMate is a WAN port, which can only receive hard wired network signal and convert it into wireless network signal, then rebroadcast it out. You cannot use the TripMate to receive a wireless network then output it via this WAN port.

Looks like the TP-Link can do WAN/LAN off the same port

Awesome @User no problem, the product was just in my Amazon cart. As @User mention & I did test this, I can connect to my MiFi, Complex WiFi etc on my Windows 10 Laptop then use LCS to share it out on LAN which again connect to EdgeRoute Lite3 on WAN1 or WAN2. Did tons of tests and it works flawless, the ping drop is just 4-5 retries before it switch over.
u
Awesome!
