My name is Pete Zito with Zito Telecom. I am new to the Yealink Forum but not so new to reselling Yealink products.

My issue is.....I have a potential client that needs about 4-5 T46G's but wants them ALL Wi-Fi and doesn't want to run Cat5/6 cables.

I spoke to my Distributor and they weren't much help :/

What would be my best bet for this situation?

Thanks,

Having been in the same situation previously, I know there are a few other options out there to provide a wifi bridge... If there are computer workstations(windows Vista+) near the phones, you can use Windows built in bridge capabilities to share the computer's wifi via it's ethernet port. This worked pretty well for one of our clients, but has the downside of being dependent on the computer being "always on". Standby modes can cause a good amount of trouble.

There are also dedicated wifi bridge devices that are very affordable to provide a better "always on" connection. This model in particular can be powered by USB, so you can use the T-46g to power the bridge!
