5G Wifi 2 - Ethernet?

jw1709 · ‎03-05-2024

Hi - I have a 5G Wifi box from the previous generation with the ethernet port. Just wondering if the new version with only USB-C is able to provide an ethernet connection via a dongle?

Cheers all.

What do you mean by "via a dongle"? The USB connection will provide a quasi-Ethernet connection to whatever it's connected to.

I need to connect a device via ethernet (and only ethernet), so curious as to if the USB-C with an adapter would work for this.
Thanks

As I said it should. What's the device?

Ah great thank you. It's a bit of broadcast equipment that's been retrofitted with an IP card to go from ISDN to IP audio stream.
