As the title says i could use some help setting up a small network for the home office. What i would like is to have 2 computers and 1 printer connected to each other via a wired connection (i have a switch). Then i would like those 2 computers connected wirelessly to the wireless router which connects to the modem/internet. Also off the wireless router i would like 3rd computer and 1 printer connected wired to the wireless router.
The reason i want the 2 main computers wired is because the main computer runs quickbooks and the second computer accesses quickbooks quite a bit(multiuser). Also the printer is the main printer for the office and since all 3 are close together i got a switch to connect them however i can't seem to get it to work.The 3rd computer and the 2nd printer are used for more home uses and rarely used for the office. However i would like the office computers to have access to the secondary printer becuase there are times when 2 are needed.
If there is a better way to set this up that would also be helpful. I just figured this was the best way to set it up however i haven't been able to get it working. I do have a switch and have the computer 1 computer 2 and printer all connected however i was unable to connect them and at the same time connect to the wireless router for internet connections. I wish the cable connection was closer to the office however that it not currently possible.
If other eqipment would be best to purchase to make this possible please mention that also. Thank you for your help i looked through the older post but couldn't see anything that seemed to pertain to this. Since it doesn't seem like a adhoc bridge it appears to be more like 2 networks have to be connected together however its been years since ive messed with anything like this and lately my computer tech side is just to make a new gaming machine every couple of years.
