Hi NG,
I've a wlan network installed in my home. The configuration looks like this:
--- wired ))) wireless
--- printer Internet --- ADSL modem --- D-Link DI-524 --- PC1 ))) Laptop
The DI-524 router is configured as Access Point (accepts multiple wireless connections) Now I have to connect wirelessly other two computers (one runs Linux); I have difficulties installing wlan on linux so I thought to wire both with a switch and then connect the switch wirelessly to the router (D-Link DI-524).
I've heard of two possibilities for solving my problem:
1) a wireless bridge which connects two wired networks (but in this case any other wireless connection is cut out, because there's no unit which acts as bridge and AP simultaneously)2) a device which acts as wireless client (I noticed the D-Link DWL-G730AP) connected to the switch by wire and to the router/AP wirelessly.
But the perfect solution I figure out is to have a device like a switch which also acts as wireless client to connect to the router/AP. Is there something like that from D-Link (or also other brands)? I think it'd be better than solution 2 (only one device instead of switch+client).
Thanks in advance!
