Question: Can I connect directly to an ethernet device and communicate to it with my Laptop wireless?
Document: I've been looking for something like this for a long time, something to carry in my laptop bag when I travel and something to carry in my IT toolkit.This device has 3 operational modes with different uses. I wouldn't recommend this device unless you need to switch between these modes with the same device, but that feature has good uses.There is a Client mode. This will allow you to join the device to a wireless network, and bridge it to the ethernet port.
I can get the AP mode working as described in the quick start guide. I can not for the life of me get the router mode working. I have flashed to the latest FW (1.13) but I can't even ping the device over Ethernet when it is in router mode. It also doesn't appear to persist my wireless setup when moving from AP to router mode so I can't connect to it that way either. This thing is cute and small but ultimately worthless as a router.
Usually, when I go to McDonald's, all I need is just my laptop. I don't need the DAP-1350 or any other device to access the internet. However, if I went out into the desert where there is no McDonald's or other place that provides free WiFI access, even into my backyard, regardless of where I go, the DAP-1350 is useless until I connect to a network on a router like I have at home.
You can use this at locations that don't have a wireless. Just plug it in, and then you can connect your laptop and roam around without having to cable your laptop in. You can connect multiple devices as well. This is good for taking a hotel with a poor or no wireless connection but a wired one, and still using your iPhone/Android wifi for example.
The setup CD which comes with the package also contains very detailed technical setup and debug information for the more advanced users.This portable device is particularly useful for traveling as we can create our own wireless network by connecting to an existing Ethernet connection (in an office, home, or hotel). I was able to set up these modes (router or AP)with an existing Ethernet connection and get the wireless network going within 5 minutes.
The only drawback is that it only comes with one physical Ethernet port so we can only hook it up to one device at a time.Highly recommended if you are a frequent traveler who needs expanded access to your portable wireless devices.
Bought a couple of these a few months ago for use on work computers that were Ethernet capable only...problem is that most hotels are wireless only. In bridge/adapter mode, these convert the wireless signal to Ethernet and problem was solved. Also use it to connect my satellite TV receiver to my wireless network for ordering movies vice running cables across the room...3 position switch makes it easy to switch modes and share an internet connection with others.
The Access Point Mode is the configuration in which most people will use.The Wireless Client Mode does the reverse. It converts a wireless signal to a wired connection. Older computers and many game consoles do not have wireless capability. In an area where you only have wireless signal but no Ethernet (wired) network, you can use this pocket router to grab the wireless signal, convert it, then send it through the router's Ethernet port to your device.
This D-Link pocket router has three modes (functions): 1. router, 2. access point, 3. wi-fi client. There is a small hardware switch you must use manually to set the mode; some other routers, like one from Asus I bought last year, uses the web interface to set the mode.In the router mode, the DAP-1350 takes network signal from a modem and allows you to connect via Ethernet.
You can get in on the default dlink wireless network, go to the default IP (192.168.1.50) and then change any settings, setup security, setup a static WAN address etc.This is useful for when you want to share a dsl modem with a group of laptops, or join a laptop to a wired network but have it behind the NAT firewall, isolating it from incoming access from that network.
Answer: Yes, if you configure it properly.  Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.
