Hi I have a small network upstairs (two Debian machines, connected to a ADSL Router which in its turn is connected to a Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Acess Point.) (The two debian machines refuse to talk to each over, but thats another story). I also have a windows wireless laptop (which is essential as it can talk to the two Debian Machines and attached printer, so it drags and drops backups and so on :-( I am thinking of moving one of the Debian machines to the summer house, which is just in range of the Wireless (sometimes). I think what I require is a compatible Belkin device, set up as a range extender and set up in the summer house. This I think will give me better communications as one hopes it would work better and one can site it carfully for comms and not for use.. I have googled such devices and have seen examples of them configured either feeding a ethernet hub or being used as is for just wireless. My question is can they do both at the same time? I mean If I have the PC plugged in, will the lappy work as well on wireless? Any ideas or suggestions (The machine I am using is a Belkin 802.11g Wireless Range Extender/Access Point). Also will the lappy play I as I move between the two devices? Thanking you in advance.
