I need to convert LAN to WLAN (RJ45 to Wi-Fi ?)

[Vampiry_Yazo]

Hi Network Builders,

I have recently bought a Blue-Ray Player which came with various apps on it like Netflix, YouTube etc. Now, to either update its firmware or use the mentioned services I need to connect it to the router, the only problem is that the Blue-Ray Player only have LAN port available for internet connection and is located in another room.

Is there a way that I can convert RJ45 to Wi-Fi ? I need something cheap & small. I was thinking about buying a mini travel router (TP-Link TL-WR902AC) then connecting the said player into it and switch it to client mode which will then connect to my Wi-Fi.

Any recommendations ?

You’re looking for a wireless bridge. Dedicated designs have been replaced by wireless extenders. Here’s an example: https://amzn.to/2RMbOsH

I thought that Wireless Extenders are only to extend Wireless signal to another area of the location, not to provide RJ45 to Wi-Fi connectivity.

They do both. Check some product descriptions.
