Best Ethernet Bridge

[Brad W]

I just ordered my ACIII Pro last night and I want to hook it up to my wireless network. I have a Linksys router. What is the latest consensus on the best ethernet bridge for this application?

Thanks.

You need to get the wireless gaming one. All the others connect by usb. Unless you can run an ethernet cable to the router.

This one?

Or this one?

Sorry if this obvious, I've just got no patience or competence for this type of thing.

Let me know if there is something better.

Thanks.

I have the second one attached. I didn't even find that first one when I went looking. I think my wife paid about 80 for it at Best Buy. Then the next week they had it on sale for 69.99 or something like that! But I did use 20 bucks of best buy reward dollars. For the 10 bucks difference I would have had to stood there and then they would have messed up on the reward dollar part in the exchange so I just let it go. I'd pay 10 bucks NOT to go through that! :lol:

So would I!

I've got one of those ridiculous jobs where you make a decent amount of money but you don't have much personal time so you end up paying others to do things that you could have handled yourself or blowing things off like waiting in line. Hilarious really.

Anyway, I appreciate your input. So did you have any trouble with the setup? I'm going for the full Monte on this thing as far as remote (from work) monitoring and cell phone emails, etc.

Do you see anything that would make you prefer the first link over the second?

Thanks.

This was my first wireless network I've ever done. I think I have some network permission things to sort out still. My aquanotes pulls the info and I can control from aquanotes but if I type in the ip add I get nothing. Same from a notebook I put a wireless on too. I can't see any other computers but the aquanotes apparently does what it needs to. In order to get outside internet access to the data and controller I'll probably have to work that out first. I'm sure it's probably easy like maybe just enabling file/printer sharing or something but I haven't even tried yet.

So you do not even have to load drivers with the second one? Sounds to easy.

I had to hook it to the router and run a cd off my main computer. It then did something to it and then I took it over and hooked it to the AC3 unit.
