EnvisaLink 3 Wirless hook up

Post by excelprodco »

Thank you for a very nice product and enjoying the one that I presently have set up. I do have a vacation home that will be the not so normal hookup.

I was wondering if some one would suggest their thoughts on how best to hook up a Envisalink 3 to a wireless router. Presently my DCS 1832 is in one room in the closet and the router is in another room. Due to the present structure there is no easy way to run hard wire cat 5 to the router to the Envisalink 3.

I looking for suggestions just how would be the best way to handle the internet hookup that would be reliable and not too costly thou I am willing to spend what it takes to handle the task.

Many thanks and appreciate the feedback.

No the keypad is not near, just my luck as well LOL

I was looking thru all the post on the topic and unfortunately the keypads are not, notice several mentioning powerline units to use as a repeater, just wondering who has has success in that matter and what units they use.

if there is a wireless router in the house or office you can use a
a wireless router that has a client or station setting
I dont use Linksys or Dead Link: Look at ubnt.com (there are others)
They have units that have ap and client settings (station)
I have done a few like that then went to wireline adapters: that's easier
Both work well (with stable internet)

try this as a router for your house and you will never look back
