Sorry about the greenhorn question.
When I got to thinking about doing this, I realized that I really
wasn't sure I knew how. My googling has failed to turn up a
definitive answer... never clear if what is talked about is the same
as what I want to do. Probably due to my inexperience with the lingo
of and networking in general
My current network:
INTERNET
|
house
|
comcast modem router
|
|
Personal home router (TP-link AC1750) with wifi for the house
|
------- ------- ---=--- ------- -------
( yet to be added)
What I plan to do below is lay a 14 inch deep narrow trench to
garage, then run an 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe to garage for housing the
ethernet line to garage..
------- ------- ---=--- ------- -------
|
130 feet of underground Cat7 or cat6a ethernet wire (underground)
|
Garage
|
router w/ wifi ( used as access point)
|
Hosts on a Different subnet
So, the question is: Can I use most any router (with wifi) at the
garage end by just plugging 130 feet of ethernet into the TP-link 1750
in the house and some (as yet unspecified piece of) equip in the Garage
and thereby establish both ethernet and wifi service in the Garage on
a different subnet?
Or do I need some specific piece of equipment at the garage end? If
not: can anyone suggest what to use.
I'm not averse to buying a new piece of equip for this.
