Hi
I have a Polycom HDX8000 video conf unit.
It only has a RJ45 ethernet port and the office only has wireless.
I am using a Huawei mobile wifi hotspot, it works as it has a RJ45, but the data use is huge and way exceed my data plan.
So I think I need a wireless to ethernet bridge:.
Any recommendations or solutions?

Thanks
Dave
 
Solution
The used to sell gaming adapters and similar units for tv. These are what are called a client-bridge. This is different than the other form of bridge that lets a router act as a AP. These units are hard to get mostly because you can now get a "extender/repeater" for about the same price.

Most repeaters can be configure to not actaully repeat the signal and act as a simple client bridge. You can still get client-bridge units but most are used for outdoor use. The of course will work indoors.
