   I don't see the original question but I just converted Ethernet to Wi-Fi.   
      
   [1] I started with an old Windows 10 desktop that has no Wi-Fi card.   
       It was already on my intranet using its wired Ethernet connection.   
       But I wanted to move the desktop to a location infeasible by wire.   
      
   [2] I happened to have an old unused Linksys WRT54Gv8.1 router handy.   
       I'm told Linksys doesn't allow "client bridge" mode in that router.   
       But I was told that DD-WRT firmware does allow "client bridge" mode.

   [3] I flashed the appropriate DD-WRT firmware onto that Linksys router.   
       (Firmware Version: DD-WRT v24 RC-7 (03/19/08) micro - build 9330M Eko)

   [4] I set up DD-WRT in "Client Bridge" gateway mode which was "paired" to   
       the home router by a MAC address to MAC address connection over Wi-Fi.

   [5] This "wireless bridge" gateway connects my wired desktop to my intranet.   
       The desktop Ethernet port is connected by cable to a gateway LAN port.   
       That DD-WRT "Client Bridge" gateway connects to my home router MAC NIC.   
       That MAC-to-MAC connection is done over Wi-Fi as a "wireless bridge."
