Any recommendations for a decent / reliable 5GHz Ethernet-to-WiFi bridge (converter)? (zerobytes.monster)

Can any of my r/homenetworking or r/networking friends recommend a quality Ethernet-to-WiFi bridge that supports 5GHz (802.11ac)?

Specifically looking for the bridge to connect to an existing wireless network so that an Ethernet device with only an RJ-45 port can cross-connect to it for network access.

Currently using IOGEAR's "Universal Ethernet to Wi-Fi N Adapter" (GWU637), which is reliable / works great - but it only supports 2.4GHz.

Saw a product on Amazon from VONETS which claims to do this, but user reviews indicate it's unreliable.

Also saw BrosTrend offering a similar product, but user reviews indicate that while it does offer bridge functionality, it only does so while either acting as an AP or as a repeater - which creates new SSIDs which can't be disabled / would cause interference with my existing network.

Anyone?
