WiFi-to-Ethernet

WiFi-to-Ethernet allows you to use an inexpensive Raspberry Pi to connect an Ethernet-only device, such as a TV set-top box or older gaming console, to your WiFi network through the Raspberry Pi's Ethernet port. It requires that the Raspberry Pi has built-in WiFi or a WiFi dongle.

How it works

WiFi-to-Ethernet will automatically join the configured WiFi network and present a DHCP server on its Ethernet port and route traffic from any Ethernet-connected devices to the WiFi network.

Required hardware

This project has been developed and tested with a Raspberry Pi 1 with an Edimax N150 802.11n WLAN Adapter. It should also work for any Raspberry Pi model and with any other board that supports balenaOS, provided it as on-board Ethernet and balenaOS support for its on-board Wifi or connected WiFi dongle.

Known issues

If you're using the using an rtl8192cu-based WiFi dongle on a Raspberry Pi 1/2 you must use balenaOS 2.26.0+rev1 for the driver to work correctly.

Setup and configuration

Running this project is as simple as deploying it to a balenaCloud application. You can do it in just one click by using the button below:
