Please forgive me as I publicly air my Networking ignorance....
I have a home network that consists of a router that has a cable modem, a PC, and a 802.11b wireless access point plugged into it. I have three other PC's that access the network through 802.11b wireless cards.
I have two 5516's that I want to be able to steam video between, but have read that there's no point in trying that with 802.11b. I also don't want to run wire from the basement to my router upstairs. So I was going to let them continue to connect to the RTV service using the modem and just hook the two RTV's together with some cable and an extra hub I have lying around, and they could use that to stream video between the two units.
My question is, can I hook an access point into the hub that the RTV's are using and let the RTV's access the Internet for their nightly updates? If so, would this also allow me use DVArchive to move shows to my PC?
Thanks.
