Gigabit Wireless Bridge?

[wonder_lander]

Does such a device exist?

Nope, the best you will get is a 802.11n bridge if they even exist yet and the throughput won't be great on that, it will fall far short of a gigabit.

Sorry, I'm looking for gigabit from the network ports, not the wireless side

Off topic but...

Yes they do exist, but they don't use a radio system for the link.

Google 'free space optics' and 'lightpointe' I've installed plenty of their products with very good results. Though they are well out of the price range of home users


In answer to your question there are a couple of cable routers now that have gigabit switches built in, but it is probably cheaper to buy a stand alone gigabit switch and connect that to any existing devices you have.

Thanks for the reply may investigate whether the cable modems can operate in bridged mode
