I have a WRVS4400n and a D-Link AP. Currently we have two locations and I are trying to share an internet connection. What we want to do is wireless-ly connect our two Access points so that I can share one &nbsp;internet connection and allow for the other location (about 15 yards away) to connect all 5 computers. . essentially having all computers in one subnet while sharing one internet connection.<br />
<br />
We don't want to do a nailed VPN between locations... NOTE this is a cost savings endeavor.<br />
<br />
We don't want to go out and buy multiple wireless cards. <br />
<br />
Firstly... is this possible?<br />
Can you tell me if wireless Bridging is what I need to do... and is bridging possible while one is a true AP?<br />
can Linksys and D-link talk to each other in this way?<br />
<br />
In the event that &nbsp;the current setup is not able to accomplish this... <br />
Can you offer a solution that is both easy to setup and not TOO costly.<br />
<br />
I've looked at Linux... but I'm not too familiar with setting up a bridging device in Linux... (look @ pfsense)<br />

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
