Okay folks, here an interesting one.... I have a public wireless network in my Meraki environment that is in NAT mode using Meraki DHCP. I have a few business class multifunction copiers I'd like to use on this network as a printer. I've seen Ethernet to wireless adapters from companies like Netgear and IO but they rely on WPS which isn't supported under Meraki. Has anyone done something like this? I know it's a little unorthodox but this is for use maybe a handful of times a year.
Solved! Go to solution.
As far as model, a 3b or better will work just fine.
This was all the information I could find regarding how it was done (a while ago):
Sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="<your_SSID_here>"
key_mgmt=NONE #My SSID in this example is OPEN
Sudo crontab -e #if asked use nano
@reboot sh /home/pi/wifi-to-eth-route.sh &
I would do what @NolanHerring suggested because you do not want WPS as a method of authentication.
Thanks Nolan... Do you have a link to info on the Raspberry Pi you used?
Just a quick question, is there a reason why you're not wiring the printers in and then smacking them on the same vlan as the wireless?
There's no wired connections close to where they need to go. There's one or two WAPs there and nothing else.
