I'm a guest in a house for several weeks. I have access to a guest wifi account to which I can connect my 3 devices BUT I don't seem to be able to share drives/files between my devices.
Therefore, I need a bit of help:
1. My 3 devices are a Mac w/ OS X 10 El Cap; Windows 10 Pro; Android. I tried to access files located on the Mac from my Win laptop but was unable. Is there a way to do that via the guest wifi connections?
2. If not, what capabilities should look for such that the router (such as, for example, a TP Link WR902AC??) can connect on the WAN-side to the existing guest wifi account and then on the LAN side to my new devices. Presumably I would want the guest network to just see the new router as just one more uninteresting device and think it's a single device and allocate it an IP address. Then, the new router would be set-up to connect to my various devices by WIFI and I would use the DHCP server in the new router accordingly.
???
Thanks very much for ideas.
