Ask HN: What's a solid, non-mesh/-repeater/-cloud WiFi-GbE bridge ~100 USD?
I&#x27;m looking for a compact, reliable 5 GHz WiFi-bridge that either has 1 Gigabit port that can bridge multiple Ethernet MAC addresses or 4x 1 GbE ports that can do the same. So far, I&#x27;ve tried numerous products from TP-Link, Linksys, and Netgear but I don&#x27;t want to have to deal with a used Cisco IOS AP or anything cloud&#x2F;mesh with $$ licensing, backdoored&#x2F;never updated firmware, analytics, added complexity, or corporate kill-switches. I&#x27;m ambivalent to F(L&#x2F;B)OSS, while open to any stable platform.<p>I also have an occasional need for a solid single Ethernet client WiFi bridge, but all the ones I&#x27;ve found so far (purpose-built and travel routers) suffer from unusable, unstable pathologies.<p>C&#x27;mon HN, these can&#x27;t be unique use-cases.
