Not exactly sure how this is accomplished - can anyone help.
I have a wireless-N router providing the internet access for the house (ipads/pods/laptops etc).
I want to set up a HTPC and NAS (in a physically different location from the wireless-N router) which can communicate with each other at gigabit speeds, and also for each to be able to access the internet.
Was looking at running cat6 cable from the wireless-N router and having a gigabit switch with the NAS and HTPC on the end.
But wondering if an alternative to running cable is to have the equivalent of a gigabit switch with the NAS and HTPC, but connecting back to the internet via the wireless... so this could be a 2nd wireless device operating in client mode providing internet for the NAS & HTPC.
Is this the same job as a wireless bridge?
Can anyone recommend a device that would do such a job?
Cheers?
