anyone have pictures of how to make your profilux 3 wireless?

[johnfallon135]

i'm trying to make my profilux 3 ex wireless if anyone can shed light on how to do this with pictures that would be great thank you!

i'm guessing i'd have to connect a router to my P3 then it becomes wireless? if so how come i've seen other profilux's with just a antenna sticking out the back is it cause they integrated a wireless card into their P3?

maybe you are refering to the expansion card PLM-WLAN

this is not available since about 3 years

if you want to make P3 wireless you need a LAN<->WiFi Bridge

Can you link me the part to buy? Thanks!

you need a bridge like this (http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WR802N-Router-WLAN-Geschwindigkeit-300Mbit/dp/B00XPUIDFQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454696459&sr=8-1&keywords=Wlan+Lan+Bridge)

isn't this just a typical router?

Also, you must use the Client Mode for Profilux

i already have a router do i have to use this specific one?

[PIWAWT]

If your router adopts a client mode, yes. But I do not think so. There would be some other ways, but that are not so easy to realize

[johnfallon135]

not sure what client mode is as i just have a regular wifi router would this work?

You may want to configure the router as an access point or repeater. Your Profilux is then normally plugged into a LAN port. The modem function you should turn off.

so it will work? i don't need to buy the router you posted or another router right?

[PIWAWT]

so it will work?

Yes, why not, is more complex to configure as you router still in your existing network. Simple would be the repeater possibility, but i have no instructions for this way.

right
