Wireless Adapter Question
I have an old access point for 802.11B - will this work as a wireless adapter for the Neptune Apex Classic? Most of the reviews I read are for 802.11N
Thanks in advance Last edited by chowberg; 10/09/2017 at 08:42 PM. |

If you can put it in bridged mode it should work. AP's are a bit different than a wireless adapter.

If not you can buy bridges or extenders for $15 shipped now. It worth it for the space and energy saving over an old access point. Not to mention the hassle of trying to get it to work. Mine was very easy to get communicating with my network. Not so easy to get the Neptune communicating, but I managed somehow,
