RE: [PLUG] Bridging two networks using linux
|
This is an example of how my parents operate.
Back in the day, the RG-1000 WAS the dsl router as well (the family computer
has a wireless card which will be removed in the next couple of weeks or
so).
The Netgear is NOT a wireless version - it wasn't needed, we already had the
RG-1000. It is just a cable/dsl router with a 4-port ethernet hub. The
RG-1000 is simply a link between the wired and wireless networks (well,
there is usually only one machine on the wired network). The netgear is
also the dhcp server (although it would be somewhat trivial to set this up
on another machine).
In terms of which machines can see which other ones, the laptops that are
wireless have no problems seeing the desktop which is wired and vice-versa

Is the Netgear device a wireless router? Why not just add your computer
to the existing wireless net? Why is the RG-1000 thing there? If the
RG-1000 is a gateway, shouldn't it be in front of the router? Maybe I'm
totally off, but the setup seems overly complicated and unnecessary.
