If this Wyse terminal really uses CE 2.0, you may be out of luck.
CE 2.0 is very old. Most of development goes on versions 4 and 5.
OTOH if it really is CE 2.0, Wyse will sell it dirt cheap, and it may be a good deal.

Another solution for you may be not tho connect each terminal to wireless lan.
Can you run ethernet cable from terminals to oneor several hubs, then connect the hubs to network backbone with wireless
bridges?
