I have a router in my house that has 2 computers and 1 ENH202 wireless bridge connected to it. In my shop 700 yards away, I have the other end of the bridge,ENH202 communicating with the first ENH202, with my security camera system connected to it. I am wanted to connect another router, my ea3500, to the shop end of the bridge so I can have a computer in the shop connected to my current LAN that is at my house. Is this possible and if so how do I need to configure the ea3500 to do this? Thanks for any tips and advice.
 
You can connect your shop' computer in the same way your cameras are connected, you don't need separate router. You can, however, use ea3500 as wireless access point - disable DHCP service, assign a static IP address from your main router' IP address space, and connect it thru LAN interface.

Thank you for your reply. I have my cameras connected via the Ethernet coming out of the enh202, there is only one port on the enh202, so how would I have both the computer and cameras connected to the enh202 in the shop? Hope that made sense. Thanks again for your reply.
