Hi Everyone,
I've got a Linksys non-wireless router with a few PCs plugged into it
sharing an ADSL connection. The router handles NAT, all that good
stuff.
I'd like to plug some cat 5 Ethernet cable into the router and connect
a wireless access point to the other end of the cable, about 75 meters
away, to provide wireless coverage to a 3-4 laptops.
Is this as simple as it sounds? Or is there something I'm overlooking?
Presumably the second access point will also use NAT, so we'll wind up
with routable IP <=> NAT <=> NAT... Is that going to be a problem? Is
there a specific product I could connect to the end of the cable that
would address these issues?
Thanks in advance.
