I have a device here that only has a RJ45 10/100 port for its network access and while it works with a regular ethernet cable, its ideal location means it would not be practical to run a cable to it.
As there is a WiFi network available, I would like to use a device that connects to that WiFi network and "converts" it to a RJ45 ethernet.
I have bought a ~10€ Pix-Link Wireless-N repeater claiming it was offering a "client mode" where it supposedly does exactly that: connect to WiFi and replicate the network on its LAN port.
Sadly, there is no way to disable the "repeat" part which I really don't need nor desire because of the security issues related to the existing firmware.
Here is a picture with what the device looks like on the leaflet and as it was easily opened, there is also its insides:
It has a Mediatek MT7628KN chip at its heart for which I have various conflicting resources ranging from won't work to don't expect too much
Believing that my requirement of "wifi bridge" would be doable with OpenWRT on this device, I downloaded the image builder for ramips here
Unfortunately but not surprisingly, when I run make info, the device is not in the list of known devices.
What should I try next? I must say I'm a bit lost in front of all the potential docs to be read.
Thanks for your suggestions.
