Most wifi extenders will also bridge the ethernet port to the network it is extending, so have a look at those. They do mac address spoofing to allow multiple clients behind one wifi client so that may break some protocols, but I think that airprint has largly got it sorted now.

Thanks, so one of these https://www.asus.com/Networking/Wireless-AP-Repeater-Bridges-Products/ will do the work? Any particular?
They seem to call it media bridge mode in their stuff, I looked at a few and they listed it. Just buy it from a place that you can take it back if it doesnt work since even within the same brand, compatibility between repeaters and bridges and routers can be hit and miss.

Thanks. I'm thinking about this one https://www.asus.com/Networking/RP-AC68U/ looks good to me with more then one lan port.
rhy7s: Have a look here: https://classic.pricespy.co.nz/category.php?m=s330241546&o=produkt_pris_inkmoms (note the LiteBeams only bridge to each other, not standard WiFi).
Thanks, looks like not much choices left for me, ))) I'm not a user of TP-Link, D-Link, Netgear, heard about MucroTik security issues, LiteBeams only bridge to each other, with Linksys had a bad experience, and the only choice is Edimax with good price. The other are expensive or does not support Bridge/Repeater mode
Does it have to be WiFi?You could use powerline as well?
What is the device you need to get a network connection to?
Hi, dont use repeaters, they will halve the throughput, the bridge (or Client) acts just like any WiFi client but bridges the traffic to a LAN port for your wired devices.

Had really bad experience with it, never more
