Hi David, Thanks for the email,
Those are USB only devices, they don't have Ethernet port, if they did, it would be much easier to connect them via wire. I am looking for something more enterprise oriented like the Cisco old USB adapters. Yahya Jaber. CCIE Wireless. 055-869-7555 ITNC Engineering. KAUST.

My recommendation is to work with the manufacturer of the system you're trying to support. Depending on the hardware/firmware on the system, support for wireless adapters is likely limited to a small set of makes and models. If the device has a wired Ethernet interface, it may be easier to install a wireless bridge adapter onto the existing Ethernet, avoiding the need to match up a USB adapter with whatever limited USB support the freezers have. Back in the N days, I used to like using the Netgear WNCE2001. It was very small, and they could be powered through a USB port or AC adapter as needed. I'd really love to find something similar to that with AC support that I don't have to scrounge around on eBay to purchase. Ideally something cheap enough that the occasional residential student with a wired only device could purchase it to get their device online in our wireless only residence halls.
