Hiya there
Right, I've yet to find a definitive answer to my networking requirement so here goes. I have two rooms where there is a lot of equipment requiring networking/internet access.
In the lounge there is a Netgear DGND3300 router, which is connected to the internet directly and has a load of wired connections and is also used as a wireless access point for laptops/phones.
In the study I have further computers and a VoIP phone. It wouldn't be practical to run an ethernet cable between the two rooms, so I'd like to hook all the equipment in the study up via ethernet to some device which then connects back to the DGND3300 wirelessly.
I believe I've got as far as understanding that bridging is the way forward, but I can't quite figure out the settings. I was planning to use a Netgear WN604 Access Point upstairs, running in bridge mode. Does that however require the DGND3300 to be in bridge mode too, which I think then effectively stops it being able to accept client wi-fi connections as well?
So basically, two rooms, both with lots of cabled connections, need to connect the two rooms wirelessly. How? |
