Suggestions for an *offline* router?

[str8bean]

Hey whats up peeps.

I work at a company where we currently use some old 2WIRE white routers from AT&T to connect devices like the computer to tablets, and to exchange information.

Though these routers are still good, I believe because of age they've been really iffy. They disconnect, drop connections even though they seem alright.

What inexpensive router would you guys suggest to be able to do this task but more efficiently and better? Also when I say offline, no internet. Just router to bridge the connections from a tablet to a computer.

Here's an example of a task:

Computer has a program that stores TXT files that are made on the tablet to keep logs of.

Router connects both computer and tablet to be able to receive and send data.

I make a text file on the tablet with named "Hello" and I send it to the computer. I press refresh on the TXT log box and the text file named "hello" pops up and can be read/edited.

I apologize for my lack of explanation skills but that's the best I can do. DX Hopefully you guys can help a peep out.

Thanks for your time!

A router does not need to have internet to work. You can set up a network using just the router's LAN ports. All connected devices would need to have their respective network adapters configured to be on the router's supported network.

But if you are just communicating between one tablet and computer you can just run an ethernet cable between them to set up an "ad hoc" network.

Here is an example link:

There are other links available via googling "how to set up an ad hoc network" or some similar wording...

Basically the Microsoft wizards can lead you through the setup.....

Take a look and feel free to post additional questions.
