Hello, long story short I use WiFi, my roommate does not. His PC is wired directly in to the current router, so I can't move the router or modem or else he'll be without networking.
My plan is to use the current Netgear WNDR3400v3 as a switch by disabling DHCP and setting it a static IP address within the Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware that I purchased to use as a router. The setup will be as follows:
cat5e from modem to non-WAN port on Netgear switch, cat5e from non-WAN port on Netgear switch to TP-LINK powerline adapter, cat5e from other TP-LINK powerline adapter to WAN port on Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware.
Am I missing anything?
