New Around Here
I have a feeling that this is going to be my new favorite place(forum-wise)
I have a room in my home where I need to put an Access Point with directional antennae for my detached garage apartment tenant. I only have one CAT6 line ran to this room where I currently store my NAS, so I added a Rosewill 5-port gigabit switch.
I've setup the AP and when I connect directly to the router, everything works perfectly. DHCP Server(main router) dishes out IP's as expected since DHCP server is disabled within the AP. However, when I take the AP to the room and connect it to the switch, I can connect to it, but cannot get an IP address.
Do I need a managed switch or should I just run a 2nd line? Thoughts?
thanks in advance
