Please log in for more thread options The answer to this question depends on how close the sites are to one another. If they are close enough to reach a single wireless router, you could do everything you want with a single wireless network. This would also allow you to reduce your internet connection to a single cable modem. Of course, you'd have to evaluate if the bandwidth provided by a single cable modem is sufficient for your needs. -Gary | ||||||||||
