Wireless, etc., from house to garage, part deux Hi all, been a while but just to go back for a minute....
I had a post regarding the best way to get my wireless service from my
house to my garage a while back, and figured I wouldn't resurrect an
old thread.
Basically, what I've decided to do is, have my cable tv/internet/
telephone provider come out and just do an underground service run
from the house to the garage. The garage is all hard wired w/cable
and network cable, so I should be good and secure as far as being
hardwired for TV, internet ,etc.
One question remains ... w/this service hardwired to the garage, I
know that I should just be able to plug a computer into a network jack
and have internet access .... however, I'm not looking for hardwired
internet, I'd like to have wireless for my laptop. If I plug in a
wireless router or WAP into a jack on the garage side of things, will
it just automatically broadcast my signal, or will I have to give it
certain settings that mimic my cable company's wireless router
(Verizon FIOS) ... and no, I don't want to just do the parabolic
antenna thing, been there, done that :-)
I don't really know anything about this. It probably makes sense to
you guys, but I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I have wired
and wireless access @ the main house. I'm running cable, etc., to the
garage and will have wired internet there ... what do I plug into a
jack to broadcast my wireless w/in the garage?
Thanks. |
