Sharing files over a Meraki Network

I have a small business with computers in 2 different buildings. My internet is satallite by Hughesnet. The modem is in one building connected to a switch that has 4 computers hardwired to it. The 4 computers are networked together and can share files. In order to get the internet to the other building I am using Meraki equipement. I have an outdoor repeater on the main building and that is hardwired to the switch with the modem. Then there is another outdoor repeater on the other building along with indoor repeaters inside the building. The internet works great all around. I am wondering if it is possible to network with a computer wirelessly in the other building with a hardwired computer in the main building.

Yes, if they are on the same network using the internet, then they can share files.

The wireless is the same as the wired connections so if you're bridging with the Meraki hardware then the sharing should be transparent between the building-to-building link.

Thanks for your response.
On the same network...does that mean the IP addresses have to be similar. For example, my hard wired computers IP starts with 192.168.0.xx and I believe the wireless computers start with 10.x.x.x
What do you mean by bridging?
I've tried setting up the network using the same SSID and following the windows wizards but I have had no luck.
