Corbula Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi all, I've been keeping up with the different announcement and what's been going on here for a while but this weekend I finally bought a Netduma. I was just wondering, is it possible to use a wifi adapter (or similar device) to plug in to the Netduma and use the wifi of the device instead of the wifi of the Netduma? I asked this question to Fraser on Twitter and he didn't know so I thought I would sign up and ask on here in case anyone else knows the answer or has maybe even experimented themselves. I think it's unlikely because from what I know you need to be able to install the devices drivers to the router but who knows, I just thought I would ask. Thanks all.

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted November 30, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hey Corbula, welcome to the forum At the moment it isn't possible. It's a pretty cool idea though so I've added it to the ticket system here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty cool idea though so I've added it to the ticket system here. Hey, cool, thanks. It was just an idea, I know the Netduma only has 2.4ghz and I know quite a few people on here use a second router solely for the wifi so I thought it would be cool to be able to use some sort of wifi device to improve the wifi if they need to. I awaiting my at the moment so I will see what the wifi is like first hand and if it will be good enough for the house's use. I mentioned a USB device because I figured that would be the easiest method but maybe you could use one of the ethernet sockets too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiif is pretty good imo I guess whenever someone gets round to looking at that ticket they'll be able to see what is possible/not possible and if it is possible what the best way to do it will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
