Can this be achieved through subnetting?
@jdabbs I think the way I put it may have been misleading. Her internet use isn't really affecting me. The problem is that my game consoles and media are connected to the LAN side of a WRT54G acting as a wireless bridge connected to the routers downstairs. It means if she copies stuff from my...- Zero1

Can this be achieved through subnetting?
Hi guys. I have a question regarding subnetting and restricting access to certain parts of the network. Pretty much everything I know about networking (which isn't a great deal) is self learned through experimenting, so there are bound to be gaps or plain misunderstandings. Let me explain...- Zero1

What to look for in a router to be used as a wireless bridge?
This is something I can relate to! Thanks for helping me understand the situation with wifi. I guess if I want faster speeds over the air, I need to go the way of three stream wireless N. I've already ordered a new wifi card and antenna for my laptop (Intel Ultimate N 6300), and I think...- Zero1

What to look for in a router to be used as a wireless bridge?
Hi Yeah, the connection is 100mbps (get 96 or so on speedtest, and 11.5MB/s downloading a Suse ISO). I found with supplied wireless, I could only reach about 80mbps despite being sat next to the router (like 2m away). It's operating on the 5GHz band and apparently both are running at...- Zero1

VPN advice required
Thanks. I was just trying to think up ways to use as much existing hardware as we can. If I am understanding correctly, I need a modem, an RV042 and a wireless router/access point for this to work. Something like Wireless > RV042 > modem. I was trying to avoid 3 separate devices, but if this... -

VPN advice required
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I think my difficulty with VPN so far is actually understanding it in my own way or in laymens terms. I originally mentioned DD-WRT as part of the cost aspect. If that would have been a viable option, it would have been at a low cost, plus it is familiar to me... -

VPN advice required
Hi guys. I work for a company that deals with retail/sales. We have 3 sites all running the same software, and currently the sites' networks are operating independently. Lately I have been considering how I could connect all 3 sites so as to be able to take advantage of being able to enquire... -

Expanding a network with limited access
Thanks. I am pretty limited with component location. It's a very cramped office and things such as where the telephone line is dictates where I can place the router. Currently the Unix server is in a different office. As it happens, I gave it a test run earlier today and it works how I... -

Expanding a network with limited access
Hi guys. In the not so distant future, I will be given the task of slightly expanding an existing network where I work. It consists of a Unix 7 server and 4 thin clients that are basically little boxes running telnet. We also have a Windows XP system that we use for other office work/emails...
