Hey guys, I've a question for you all:
I've purchased a duplex, and until I get some major remodeling done, my residence is split into two halves. I've got a wireless router in my home office, but I want to also use the network on the other end of my home too. I only have one computer capable of receiving a WiFi signal, the other two devices are Ethernet only (an old desktop and an Xbox).
Signal strength isn't a problem, and my WiFi-equipped PC can see my router and connect just fine. I have a second router, and I'm going to connect it to the WiFi-equipped PC, and use ICS to share the network connection from my PC to the router.
What specific settings will I need to be mindful of to make this a success?
Also, I know the tendency to try to advise someone to go with a completely different setup (IE set my second router as an AP, drill a hole in the wall to put a LAN cable through, etc). Please focus on the method I've described, as that's the solution I am going to implement.
So to summarize, I'm going to use:
Internet -> Router A -> Wireless Adapter -> Router B via ICS
Thanks very much!
