In search of wired Ethernet to wireless network adapter

Question

I'm in need of a stable wired Ethernet to wireless network adapter like the NetGear WNCE2001.  The goal is to make a scientific instrumentation device (not a computer) that is currently a wired (RJ-45 port) Ethernet client a wireless client.  USB is not an option.

I've tried the NetGear WNCE2001 with limited success.  But they seem to keep losing their settings and causing network issues when they do.

Can anyone recommend anything?  It has to support WPA2-PSK AES; G or N desired.

Thanks Jim!  Learned something about bridging a single device.  Thanks again.

If you have a Ruckus wireless setup with a ZD, you can also consider using SmartMesh and putting an AP near the device as a mesh AP. The ethernet ports on AP's are basically bridged to the network.

In lieu of that, what Jim said. I've had absolutely terrible luck, FWIW, with consumer-grade wifi bridges, as they tend to either disconnect for no apparent reason, randomly drop, stop bridging, or fall into a crappy performance state until you reboot it.

It sounds like Ubiquity might be a good way to go, if you're not equipped to do SmartMesh.
