Wireless Distribution System
« on: March 30, 2006, 08:29:07 PM »
Not really Amiga-only related but maybe helpful for members.

What I have is this:
All my Amiga's are on the second floor of my house. My PC and wireless router are in the livingroom downstairs. I connect my A1200 wireless to the router and this works great.

What I want:
I would like to connect my other Amiga's together and (some) to the internet. But I don't want a cable from my living to the second floor.

What do I need?
Second WDS-enabled wireless router? Can I connect cabled Amiga's to the LAN-ports of this router?

Wireless bridge connected to an ethernet switch then every Amiga networked into the switch.

I've have a similar set-up; an amiga, pc, xbox and wireless ethernet bridge connected to a normal ethernet switch. The bridge connects everything to my wireless router and the internet.

If you do mac address filtering on your router, you need to allow the mac address of all the devices, including the ethernet bridge.
