OK so I am running cat ethernet through my house. My modem and router are in my parents bedroom on the first floor at one end of the house. I want to put a switch in the basement and have several rooms connected to the switch. I plan on having the modem connected to the router then plugged inot the switch.
My goal is to have this setup allow me to play games with my friends whether we are wired or wireless. As long as the router is before the switch this should be possible right? This is my biggest concern.
I also have a extra router I would like to have made into a wireless access point. This would be placed in my room on the second floor on the very opposite side of my house. My 2.4 gets a bit slow and don't get me started on the 5ghz.
The modem can not be move to another location and the router may need to be connected between the modem and switch.
What I need to known is if I can have the device sequence in this order modem>router+wireless devices>switch+wired devices >wireless access point (repurposed router) + wired and wireless devices.
I need to have every computer to be able to play Lan games with each other no matter how they are connected. My friends prefer wired connection to eliminate lag and we are tired of running cables aroused the floor and to other rooms.
I also plan to have a Nas to store all of my videos, games, and files. So does any one know I'd a smart TV can detect a Nas and read video files off of it?
