Hello!
I have a device which I want to connect to my WiFi network. The device in question is a 7 years old TV set. It has an Ethernet port, but no internal WiFi. The WiFi router is around 10m away.
Yesterday I performed an experiment. I shared an internet connected through my old MacBook Pro. That is, the MacBook was connected to WiFi and it shared its internet connection via its Ethernet port with the TV set. It worked as I liked, but I do not want to make it a permanent setup for obvious reasons.
I read an article titled "Share WiFi With Ethernet Port on a Raspberry Pi" on Instructables. I even have an RPi, but its too flimsy for a permanent setup as well.
I want some cheap off-the-shelf device, which I can connect to my WiFi network, then connect it to my TV. Are there any devices like that available?
I'm also considering Ethernet over Powerline, but it looks too expensive. I cannot run a wire from my router to the TV set.
