Any suggestions on compatible wireless adapters? Just finished figuring out the FTP on our robots, and looking for the best way to get them hooked up into our network. Hoping we can figure out the wireless instead of running more cables.

You can use an access point as wireless client (at least some AP are able to be used as client).

Take a look on the TP-Link TL-WR902AC or TL-WR802N. I am using both in combination with Fanuc robots.

Thank you DS186 and hermann, I think that is actually everything I need for my project. I'll update when I get it all set up.

The promised update:
We went with the IOGEAR GWU637. It has an operating temperature range that worked well, as our plant floor gets quite hot (112f in the controller). That said, I wouldn't recommend it on the simple fact that it is not powered over ethernet, which was an oversight on my part. If anyone needs a wireless bridge, PoE is the way to go. But, these do work.
