Alright so I'm setting up a network for a small office for a friend of mine. It's sorta an advertising agency/ animation studio with 8-10 persons.
This is what the owner wants for his network: 1 centralized NAS that can be accessed wired or wireless. He will have 3 workstations and up to 5 laptops accessing the NAS, the workstations will need fast and stable connection, laptops can work on wifi.
This is what he currently have available:
- Internet subscription plan of 40Mbps, fiber optics
- 1 modem/router wifi from the ISP, support wireless n/b/g, positioned about 40 meters from the office in a separate room.
- Each workstations has 1-2 Gbit ports and wifi ac
What he needs is to setup 2 separate networks, one is between the NAS and workstations at gigabit speed without internet access, the other is with internet access but without NAS.
Is it possible to setup a Gbit network without internet access? What is the proper way to set this up and what additional devices do I need? (router, switches,...?)
Thank you for your time guys
