I Googled the topic and found a project by Glenn Lockwood to configure a Raspberry Pi as a Wireless-to-Wired Ethernet Bridge…just what I wanted Most of the work is contained in his article which is excellent, but I found one major gotcha which caught me out and took some time to solve. What I now required was basically something working in the opposite direction. (The basis of these articles has been nicely brought together by Dave Conroy in a form which is much easier to follow here. I had previously built a wireless access point using the Rpi based on the Pi-Point Article amended according to the article by Jens Segers to allow for the fact that I was using an Edimax EW-7811Un wireless adapter which requires a special modified hostapd. If you do not want to wade through the whole article (although I hope you will) you can jump to the end where a zip file is available to download with instructions to enable you to get up and running quickly However, it occurred to me that it should be possible to build a wireless to ethernet adapter using a raspberry pi. Unfortunately this is quite expensive in the region of £50-£60 pounds and I couldn’t justify the expense for the limited number of times I might use it. I have an internet ready Panasonic TV which can connect via a wired ethernet cable to a suitable internet-connected router, or via a wireless connection using a Panasonic usb wifi Dongle.
