Device that uses Wi-Fi exclusively over Ethernet connection
Device that uses Wi-Fi exclusively over Ethernet connection
I don’t see a suitable category for this situation. Many people have Wi-Fi at home, but some devices rely solely on Ethernet and can’t connect to Wi-Fi. You might need a bridge or adapter that lets your Ethernet-only PC join the network wirelessly. Let me know if you’d like suggestions on such solutions.
Optiplex 9020m supports Linux but lacks a compatible Wi-Fi adapter.
Consider using a powerline adapter. It should allow Ethernet to connect from the computer to the device, which might avoid driver problems. (No prior experience with this model, though it appears well-reviewed.)
