So my basic setup spans across 3 rooms of my house. I have an AT&T modem/router in the back bedroom, Media PC connected to Netgear nighthawk router in middle bedroom, and HTPC in front living room. I have ethernet cables running from modem to netgear router AND modem to HTPC (its a long story..).
I disable the wireless on the AT&T router (b/c its terrible, among other things) and use the netgear router for my wireless network. Unfortunately, since the HTPC is hard wired to the AT&T router I can't access media on the network created by the netgear router. Is there a way to merge the 2 networks/routers without having to run more cables?
I know the easiest solution here would be to buy a wireless card for the HTPC, but I would prefer to use the existing ethernet wiring.
I figure there's got to be a way since technically both CPUs and routers are all wired together.
