Can anybody recommend a device that has an ethernet port on it that I can connect a computer to and then the device itself connects to the Wifi Network. So the PC sees its connection as cabled, but uses the Wifi. There are so many options out there, so I thought I'd see if anyone who uses one and is happy with it can recommend it.
 
I have 2 Linksys Wifi6 Atlas Pro in a Mesh, one up and one down. I could get a wifi card for the PC but thought it better to get an extender of some kind, that way I can connect a switch to it to allow the PC and a POE phone to use it.
 
Honestly, I wasn't looking to spend that much. I've found an AC1500 one that looks like it will do the job for £27. It's made by Tenda but will come from elsewhere so can see how it is for 30 days and send back if it proves to be a bit poo.

Apologies.

So, started using the Tenda in anger. The speeds I get are fine (450/400) on it so that's not an issue, but it drops packets about one solid one every 30 seconds. Not an issue for most things but I work in Telecoms and do a lot of live calls/meetings and it is so noticeable when in them. I've therefore looked again at the options and have found a Linksys VLP0101-UK for only a tenner more. Better brand and it also should link to my existing Mesh setup and should be delivered before the return window shuts for the Tenda.
