Folding Farm and Wireless Bridge
Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2004 11:11 am
Wasn't exactly sure where to put this, but it's more about system advice than folding so here goes.
Going to assemble a small folding farm, but won't be able to put it inside my house (you guys can probably guess why) but I do have a shop out back. I don't want to run an ethernet cable out to the shop, getting it into the house to my router would be a real pain in the rear. I do have a wireless router inside that the kids' PCs connect to.
I was thinking about having the folders connected to a hub in the shop, then connect the hub to a wireless bridge. Like this one

Here's the info from the Netgear website:

Would this work? Does anyone have any experience using a bridge like this?
Reading on the Netgear website, the folders shouldn't know the difference. The are connected with a wire to the hub and the hub is connected wirelessly to my router.
