wifi to ethernet.

[pacs.lym]

Hi
I need to connect a Router WiFi to an Ethernet TV connection.
Essentially there is no electrical sockets available near the router nor is there any cable out sockets available from the router. I have an internet TV in another room well within the WiFi range. I'm looking for a WiFi receiver that can be plugged into my TV Ethernet connection, either by cable or directly so I can access the internet (Netflix etc,). Any Idea's please?

These devices work fine , usb powered (your tv should have 1 or 2 usb ports).

Set it up by connecting to a pc Ethernet port first to set up the ssid & password & it's easy going from there.

Thanks for the quick reply, I was looking at these but I wasn't aware that the USB's on TV's carried power. I have a modern PC at work that has non powered usb's (meaning you cant charge from them) my TV is about 8 years old (Sammy) so still looking for a solution.

Addendum: Looking at the reviews, this device cant be set up unless you have 32bit XP.

There is no such thing as a non powered usb .
Even usb spec 1 has to be a minimum of 5v 1a (5w)

Without some form of power circuitry anything you plug in would not work at all.

& no you can set up these devices using Windows 10 no issue at all

On another note I find it had to believe an 8 year old tv would actually have Netflix onboard ??

Sorry for not getting back sooner. Thank you for your help on this. I have windows 7 ultra hope it will work with that.
I'll have to double check to make sure Netflix is on the TV. I made the assumption it has Netflix as its connectable to the internet and has downloadable apps. ....and the USB, I should know that it needs power to work...I've built PC's in the past Doh! Thanks again.
