Awesome device.
Awesome device. The little, and I mean it’s tiny, manual that comes with it is a bit cryptic in its terminology, but that's mostly because there is very little wordage. Just a few words here and there, and it’s easy to get confused as to what they mean. But technologically speaking, this device is awesome. Outside of the cryptic manual, it’s actually easy to setup and use. I just connected it to my PC, browsed to its static IP of 192.168.254.254, and then used the Web GUI to set it up. That consisted of scanning for my WiFi “hotspots” (available SSIDs), selecting the one I wanted it to bridge, then giving it a static IP so I can always find it. Boom! Done! Now just plug it into any RJ45 port, and its on my network. I used this for an outdoor WiFi Security camera that had dropped off the network. WiFi on the camera wasn’t working anymore, but once I plugged this into its RJ45 port the camera was back on the network and working flawlessly. And it’s actually got better throughput than the camera’s original WiFi connection. It also has the option of becoming a hotspot itself. This can be disabled if you like (which I did as I only needed the bridge for the camera) but it does offer the functionality of extending your WiFi network from the point it is deployed. So it’s not only a great bridge for wired devices but also a WiFi extender. Unbeatable product at this price point! And it saved me from having to replace a WiFi camera that had lost its WiFi capabilities. The cameras I use are awesome in every respect except their WiFi circuitry. Crappy circuit that is prone to low bandwidth and utter shutdown. I’ve had three of these cameras develop WiFi problems, but this little jewel saves them!

Nice WiFi Bridge for Ethernet-Only Gadgets
I ordered this to use with my SolarEdge inverter. The North America models don't come with WiFi, so when it was installed, it got a cellular modem for monitoring. The cellular connection was spotty, since I live in a rural area, and it had only one bar of service at best. SolarEdge sells a "Wifi Gateway" for $300+, but since it has an Ethernet jack and a USB port, I thought that I'd give this a try. I set it up on my computer in WiFi Bridge mode and made sure it was working. The network speed on this isn't that high, but it's more than enough to handle the inverter monitor data. I installed it inside the inverter, and since it's so small, it was easy to find a permanent space for it. It's been working perfectly, and now my solar monitoring is stable and updates more frequently. This was a LOT cheaper than going with the OEM route, and I'm guessing that works just as well - if not better. I have had other travel routers like this one before, but I really like that the cables are permanently attached. I guess it wouldn't be great if you wanted longer cables, but for what I'm using it for, the short length is perfect. Don't expect this to perform as well as a full-size router or WiFi bridge. It's a tiny, low-power device, so expect it to perform accordingly.

Failed after two weeks
This unit is ALMOST plug-n-play. Plugging it straight into a configuration computer with its RJ45 Ethernet jack (in lieu of a regular network cord) and restarting the Ethernet interface on the configuration computer. This pulls an IP address of 192.168.254.100 from the DHCP server on the VAP11N, and probably accesses a built-in DNS server on the device, resolving the name vonets.cfg to the device's default UI IP address, 192.168.254.254. The default behavior, once the device is configured and rebooted, is to turn OFF the onboard DHCP server, for obvious reasons. A firmware upgrade is advisable (latest firmware as of this writing dates from Jun 26, 2024). The device has to be basically configured and online on the Internet to obtain the upgrade, and any configuration done prior to the upgrade will be lost, requiring one to start from scratch - a common behavior - so don't waste time fine-tuning your configuration prior to upgrading the firmware. This device only uses 2.4G WiFi connections, but later models, such as the Vonets VAP11AC, will connect to 5G access points. Power can be supplied from either a USB-A connection (built-in pigtail), or via an AC plugin adapter providing anywhere from 5V - 15V DC. While initial connection to the configuration UI is pretty easy, some technical knowledge of TCP/IP networking/bridging is useful in order to insure proper setup for your required application. As is common with configuration UIs for small devices such as this, the UI is a bit "fiddly". It requires both a per-screen "Apply" for settings changes, PLUS a reboot of the device to make any changes effective, and some settings don't seem to "stick" the 1st time. With a bit of knowledge, and reasonable patience, you can get the VAP11N to do everything except cook breakfast! If you get lost in configuration, you can always do a factory reset and start over (assuming you didn't brick the device by fumbling a firmware upgrade). UPDATE: This unit failed after a few weeks of use. Speed dropped to < 2.0Mbps.

Great product, tough setup.
I’m pretty tech savvy and this product works very well but the setup was a little confusing. Beyond that it works very well has a pretty decent range. Had to factory reset once because I accidentally turned the WiFi extender off. But overall great product for the money and if you’re not tech savvy just read the instruction manual twice before you get started. 👍🏼

Me ha encantado este producto. Lo utilizo con una torre con Ubuntu. Fácil de configurar y permite configuraciones avanzadas según las necesidades de cada uno.

If you don't mind the fact that this device is Chinese developed and manufactured and not audited for security (though the brand has been around quite a while), then this is a great and inexpensive way to extend your wi-fi or provide an inexpensive travel router, assuming you don't mind a cap of 300Mbps. I purchased this to use with an LG OLED C8, whose wi-fi chip has been rendered borderline useless by a recent firmware update. It's being used as a bridge to connect to my wi-fi and then pass that onto the TV through it's Ethernet port. After hours of using it with 4K content, it hasn't missed a beat and is doing a great job. The firmware is basic and full of bad English (not unusual), but it's functional and even if you're not technical, following the quick start guide should get you up and running. It also has a one-button firmware update function built-in, which is very handy. This is a device for specific purposes but it serves that purpose well and for a cheap price. If you're concerned about security though, you might want to make sure it only has a connection directly to your router and not the wider Internet directly.

中華Mini PCを購入し、インストールされているWindows11を削除してインストールしようとしたところ、Wifiのドライバがないらしく、インストールが途中から進まないという事態が。そんなときにこの商品が救ってくれました。
