_HISTORICAL_STATE:_ a
- I have two PCs, two NAS devices and two SB3s networked via an
unmanaged gigabit switch, all with hardcoded IPs using the
192.168.168.x range.
- The SB3s are located outside of the study and take their audio feed
from one of the NAS devices located in my study.
- Slimserver is running on one of the PCs
- The wired link between my study and SB3s is provided by three
Ethernet over Power connectors.
- Each of my PCs is connected to the Internet via a broadband router
linked to a 2nd NIC with IP assigned by the router's DHCP and takes
the form of 192.168.1.x
- The 192.168.168.x range is not exposed to the Internet and I want
to keep it that way
Everything works nicely.
_DESIRED_FUTURE_STATE:_
- Same as above, except I want to add a WAP in the lounge so that we
can surf etc from our laptop
- If technically feasible I also want to add a 2nd WAP in the lounge
to interact with the SB3 via a Nokia N800 or something similar
*_Current_state:_*
To solve point 1 above I did the following (after consulting with the
vendor):
- purchased a Wireless Ethernet over Power connector and installed in
lounge
- connected broadband router to gigabit switch
- configured wireless Ethernet over Power connector to accept IP from
broadband router's DHCP. Broadband router assigns 192.168.1.2 to the
wireless Ethernet over Power connector
Outcome is that Internet is now accessible from the Lounge, however,
devices in the the 192.168.168.x network become inaccessible to one
another as soon as the wireless connectivity is established ie it
pretty much looks like I can have the one or the other operational, but
not both.
I have connected the broadband router to the switch with and without an
Ethernet over Power connector in between - both options give me an
active WAP.
Any ideas as to how to get the two to coexist (the vendor specifically
said I could run both networks on the same power line infrastructure)?
Finally, apologies if my networking terminology is incorrect/laughable
- I've learned through trail and error.
