Hi guys , need some help here...
I am in the process of setting up a home network with wireless internet access.
I currently have a BSNL adsl connection.
Things I will connect to the network
Main computer (my rig)
Another rig in another room
2 NAS storage devices
2 lapstops for which wifi net access is required (but sometimes, Iwant to wire the laptops into the network for file sharing etc.
As I undertand it, I have the following options
Option 1
Buy a adsl wireless modem with built in router. The problem is that these usually have only 4 ports, which will be insufficient for me.
Option 2
Can I keep the current Huawei modem which BSNL gave me and buy one of those netgear 8 port switches.
Wi this, can I connect the modem to the switch and all the computer to the switch. How do I get wifi then?
Option 3
adsl wireless modem with built in router and a switch.
Connect some computer/devices to the switch and the rest to switch. WIll this work? Obviously this will be the most expensive.
All this will have to support the BSNL connection I have where I have to dialup/login for the connection to get started. Thanks
