Which router for wireless and wired network?
My house is wired with CAT5 and most rooms have at least one network connection. I want to set up a router so that I can have wireless access to the network but also be able to use the wired network for things devices like Slingbox and Sonos. Can someone describe how I should set this up - i.e. can I just set up a single router to do this or do I need to use a wireless router and a separate switch? I'd also like to know which routers/switches you'd recommend in the $200 price range.
How does one change from bridge mode to router mode within my router?
I am trying to allow my slingbox to work in my router and the default gateway is set to public and needs to be set to private. The bridge mode I am told is not assigning a IP address, which is what I need for my slingbox to work.
do i have to buy 2 slinglinks(4-port) just to connect the router and the slingbox?
i am planning on getting a slingbox AV and need to get a connector so that the slingbox will connect to my router in another part of the house. i just want to know if i need 2 of them because they are really expensive for just one. if i need 2 them should i just get a powerline ethernet adapter? what do you think?
Will this setup for cable modem, router and hub (and Slingbox) work?
I have two routers connected serially (1st a Planet and 2nd a Linksys WiFi on another floor). Although I can access the Internet on either I never got the the two nets working well enough for printer and file sharing. It happens I have an 8 port nway switching-hub (Encore ENH908-NWY+) not being used, so my question, can I connect them this way:
Internet
|
Cable Modem
|
WiFi Router ------ Slingbox
|
hub --- computer 1 (file server) -------- shared printer
| |
| |____ computer 2
|
computer 3
In other words, will the router's DHCP server manage the computers connected on the hub as if they were simply connected to the ports of the modem?
PS: I don't know if this is stupid because I'm not exactly sure what a hub does. Anyway, could anybody help?
Stephen: the WiFi and Sling box on a different floor than the other computers and printer.
how does the slingbox connection to the internet work? Can it be used with a wireless router?
I want to connect a slingbox to an extra directtv box, I do not have directtv run in the same room with my cable modem, does it have to be connected directly or is there a way to connect it wirelessly? if so will this significantly affect the speed or quality?
