Looking for a 2,4GHz network bridge WPA2 Enterprise capable

(1/2) > >>

The Soulman:
At home my laptop connects to a public wifi network that is
wpa2 enterprise encrypted.
On the laptop it used to work ok-ish but recently some people in the neighborhood added more power-full routers and/or repeaters to their own networks and
now the public network performs pretty bad here.
Mobile devices where already struggling but the connection to those is now next to useless.

My bright idea is to use a network bridge ("2,4 GHz to rj45 converter") and
plug that into the wan port of a normal router, and use that to create my own LAN
and wifi.

I'm struggling with the "2,4 GHz to rj45 converter" part.
So far I've tried different option's:
Linksys router with ddwrt
Linksys router with openwrt
Netgear bridge, didn't support WPA2 Enterprise  :palm:

I'm comfortable with the LAN and rf side of things but
at this point I'm done with fiddling with all sorts of settings (of the opensource routers).

I just want a of the shelf commercial product where I can enter SSID, select security type, enter my username and password and it connects?

Does something like that exists?
Any recommendations?

Edit: 54mbit/s and 2,4 GHz only is sufficient.

Have you tried building a directional antenna?

No need to built what already is available, and that is step two, first I need a bridge.
I don't think my wive likes to carry a set of mini yagi's in her pocket lol.

David Hess:
The older Ubiquiti AirMAX legacy products will do exactly what you want inexpensively.  The Nanostation M Loco is ideal for shorter range WiFi to Ethernet bridging.

Note that their newer AirMAX AC products apparently will only connect to other Ubiquiti AirMAX radios due to software limitations.
