I have a com3 office connect 5 that is installed in a metal building with lines running into 3 separate offices. I need to have wireless in one of these offices. Can I plug a wireless router into the line running from the commercial router in my office to have wireless service there?
Just to clarify...I have a windstream modem - the officeconnect5 router (not wireless) is attached to this modem - there are 3 lines running out of the router into offices. I want to connect a wireless router to one of the 3 lines. I cannot put wireless in the original location of the modem due to the metal walls in the building.
Thanks
You can do it, but the devices on connected would be segregated from the rest of your network (this is what routers do),
You want a wireless access point, and if you talk to your security manager, the metal walls are a boon, not a curse.
