ok, this is my first post, and its going to be a long one! Sorry! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

First, the issue that I need a solution for:
I need to be able to access 7 devices plus a dvr & old desktop on a single network. Reason for this, is simply to not have to leave my office to look at speed issues, rebooting, etc. on the system. The system is spread over about 7 acres give or take. I purchased the devices in this network on advise from a now, not so good friend!! So if these items will do the what Im asking, I would rather not buy anything else.

Ok, now the flow and devices that make up the network:

Internet up to 50mb pipe (Comcast Blast Plus, non-wireless don't have model.)

Comcast Modem

Linksys E1200 (Already Had...)

Hard wired to the following.....
1. Asus RT-AC66U, set to AP mode (Already Had...)
a. hard wired to DVR (Surveillance)
b. hard wired to cheap little netgear AO mode (Already had, I figured why not!)
c. hard wired to older desktop (rehabbing for a media server)

2. Phicomm FWR-714N (Bought These at $50 a piece from that former friend, then found out you can buy em for like $20 something) They are all in repeater mode!!
a. hard wired to another FWR-714N (Ran out of cable, so instead to a home run from the Linksys, I just fed it from a closer device, Yea I'm cheap!)

3. Phicomm FWR-714N

4. Phicomm FWR-714N

Ok. The network (wirelessly) is great I pull great speeds anywhere on my property now, and I must have it!

I can give you guys all of the configs that I did on each device, but I figured it would be easier for you to look at the above Items and tell me how you would do it!! However if anyone wants or needs I will furnish!!

Crap I forgot, there is also one desktop that I'm rehabbing for a media server!

Thanks so much for your help!!

It appears as though you only have a single router since all the other things you have are either running repeater or AP mode. This makes is easier because all your machines are on a single IP block.

The general process you need to follow is to port forward ports on your router to the machines on the inside. What exactly you pick will depend on the application you are running on each device. The largest issue will be the devices that want to use the same port. You will have to choose a different one for each in the router.

Now if the devices are not really designed to be remotely accessed ..ie they are not secure. You will need to set up a machine to access them. You would need to use something like remote desktop or maybe teamviewer so you could in effect be running a machine remotely and then access all the devices from that machine.
