Networking options for a A1200

Has anyone else tried hooking up a regular ethernet port to a wifi bridge (either vampire or just with a pcmcia ethernet card)?

Hi blongden. I used a TP-Link Wireless N nano router for a while, set in Client Mode which did exactly what you are asking. As long at the router had estabished it's connection to the wifi before I ran MiamiDx it worked well. The limitation was the reliability of wifi signal when I moved my devices so I swapped to a set of Powerline adapters (like RetroPassion's suggestion above) and these have been great; the connection is reliable and established quickly so by the time I run Miami the Powerline adapter is ready.

I didn't notice any difference with connection speed between the two options. The Amiga is the limiting factor and I could get downloads of about 2Mbps but that would max out my '030.

Turns out getting hold of a compatible PCMCIA ethernet card is not easy! Plenty of compatible cards on ebay without dongles (no use). Guess I just have to keep checking!

Roughly whereabouts are you based? I have an unused 3com PCMCIA card which I would need to check is working, but I want to ensure it's worth trying to get it to you first.
