question about wireless device stuck please help

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Ok guys here is the problem. please tell me the answer.

Due to problems my cable modemn got moved to my living room. Therefore i am having to move my wireless router WRVS4400N to my living room. which is fine cuz my laptop and desktops (in bedroom) have wireless cards so they know how to talk to the router wirelessly. However in my room i have so many wired devices which include 2 network hard drives. 1 network printers. Earlier those hardware was connected directly to router using wired connections since my router got moved i dont know how to get those network drives and printer to to talk to that router since i dont want to get wires all over my house to just connect to the router.

I am asking what linksys device should i buy that should solve my problem. The problem that i am trying to solve is having a device in my room where i can physically connect all my wired devices to it and that device should know how to talk wirelessly to a wireless router in my room. Please note my main concern is about the smartness of the device. my wireless card in my laptop can connect to a a wireless router because the software is smart enough to communicate and gets an ipaddress from the router. so what device can i buy which can connect other cat 5 wired devices and that it can communicate with a wireless router so everything is part of one network and yet accessible through the internet cuz my router connects to the cable modem.

Could other wireless router solve the problem cuz i already have two linksys routers. but how would one wireless router WAP4400N talk to other wireless router
WRT54GX4 and yet be part of same network. this is all confusing.



I am sure some of it must be easy question but my lack of understanding about networking is driving me crazy please help!!

You have to enable file and printer sharing on one of the systems that will be on, so your desktop would be the best, using the USB enable full access to the drive, then add your printer to the allowed network.
