The company I work for has been contacted to get a temp wireless link setup in a building that has burned. There was a network cable that ran from one part of the building to another across the area that burned and they need to restore the link until the fire marshal releases the building and lets them pull a new cable or until they demo and rebuild.
I think there is just one machine on the other end of the link but there might be two or three.
What would be the best way to create the link knowing that I need to either plug into a wired pc or a switch (to run several pcs). As far as I know they do not have a wireless network in place right now. Even if they do I'd rather employ a solution that I can add to there existing network to create a wireless point A to point B link to the wired PC's.
I don't have time to order parts so I need to be able to pick it up locally. I can get my hands on Linksys WRT54's and WAP54g's as well as the Buffalo WHR-G54. And I don't mind flashing the Buffalo's with DD-WRT to make things easier.
I know two of the WAP54G's can link but not sure how it handles the ethernet side.. I can also link a WAP54G to a WRT54G but still don't know if I can come out one of them with ethernet. and I know I can WDS the Buffalo's with DD-WRT and the ethernet should work there..
Just curious.
