Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Works with any Ethernet device: no drivers, no OS support, no firmware update needed
  • ✓ 867Mbps on 5GHz or 300Mbps on 2.4GHz, about 4x an N300 bridge
  • ✓ Two angle-adjustable external antennas beat the internal antennas on compact bridges
  • ✓ Wall-outlet powered, so no USB host port required on the target device

Cons

  • ✗ Needs a free electrical outlet near the device you are bridging
  • ✗ Single Ethernet port: bridging multiple devices requires adding a switch
  • ✗ 867Mbps is the 5GHz radio ceiling, not a guaranteed wired-equivalent throughput
  • ✗ WPS pairing depends on your router exposing a WPS button

Manufacturer description

The BrosTrend AC1200 WiFi to Ethernet Adapter solves a problem every retro-leaning setup eventually hits: a device with an Ethernet port and no wireless radio. Plug it into your printer, smart TV, Blu-ray player, PlayStation, Xbox, Raspberry Pi, or an Ethernet switch, and that device joins your Wi-Fi network without a driver install or firmware update. The adapter draws power from a wall outlet, so there is no USB host dependency and no operating system to satisfy, which is exactly why it works with hardware that stopped receiving driver support years ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my PlayStation or Xbox?

Yes. BrosTrend lists game consoles as supported alongside smart TVs, Blu-ray players, network printers, Raspberry Pi, Ethernet switches, and computers. The console sees a normal wired connection, so no console-side setup changes are needed.

Do I need to install a driver?

No. The adapter requires no driver installation or update on the connected device, which is what makes it usable with older hardware and appliances that have no driver support available.

How fast is it?

Up to 867Mbps on the 5GHz band or 300Mbps on 2.4GHz using 802.11ac, which BrosTrend describes as roughly 4x the speed of an N300 adapter. Real-world throughput depends on distance and interference.

Does it work with my router?

It supports any 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n Wi-Fi router, so it should pair with both current Wi-Fi 6 routers and older 802.11b/g/n hardware.
