i think all wifi bridges will be compatible with the openbox
as all have rj45 and most can be powered with usb
but if i was you i would use a set of home plugs if possible
the wifi bridges i have used are not reliable

i use this wifi bridge
initially used the usb port on openbox for power
but later on connected a external power for the bridge which is not included in the package
it works fine though

I currently have homeplugs which does not seem to be reliable which is why I was thinking of getting the wifi bridge

Are these reliable enough (i.e.) no disconnection etc and what external supply adpater is needed for bridge

Thanks

i did not have issues so far.
my router is upstairs and the bridge is downstairs hidden behind the tv
it gets good signal so far
i used a 5v adapter from another media player which had the same type of point. i guess you can also use a usb power adapter too
