I have sold and used these devices for over 7 years in commercial and industrial applications to make ethernet compatible printers, copiers, wide format printer, and other digital business equipment Wi-Fi capable. This device is the Asus RT-N12 D1 (N300). The last function is the one we will focus on. We will be doing exactly the same thing except with an off-the-shelf network appliance that costs less than $30 and is 3 devices in 1: A standard wireless router, a dedicated access point, and a wireless bridge/extender.

You can find the pdf documentation on this device here:

It’s a white labeled TP Link wireless gaming adapter.

Ruida has a Wi-Fi solution available but is rather expensive and there is no magic pixie dust inside. We are focusing specifically on Ruida DSP’s and LightBurn software but the principle is basic IT and can be applied to other DSP’s (or any other wired ethernet device for that matter) and applications that support TCP/IP.įor a quick refresher on networking go over our Basic Networking Guide before continuing. This article will explore this topic and provide an easy, cost effective solution that will work for any ethernet capable controller. This seems to be a stumbling block for many folks who want to be able to connect their lasers via wi-fi. Many laser engravers have an ethernet port but do not have embedded wireless networking capability.
