Of course. Just use a Pluto on your network and connect with WiFi at 5 GHz. I do this all the time. If narrow band, best limit the bandwidth. If DATV lower SRs are better, but in 2021 there is really no need to run 1Ms/s.

It occurs to me some people may not know how to do this. You need an OTG Ethernet adapter and a Y-cable for power. Don't try to power from the Pluto, it may work but often doesn't, at least not reliably. Pluto will use DHCP to get an IP address from your router. Find out what it is and enter it in SDR Console. Set up will look something like this highlighted:
The difference is the IP address.

As Mike pointed out operating the Pluto via the LAN is no difficult.
Here is a decription:
Connecting the ADALM Pluto to the Local Area Network
Kind regards

Thanks all for the info, I'll test that.
Is it also possible to connect outside the Local Area Network ?

It is but not normally a good idea. It is possible with a VPN but you need a very good stable connection for it to work properly.

Hi,
Also consider the bandwidth required. If I remember correctly 18 MBps is required for 1 MHz at Pluto.
