Thread: Help me to setup a network like this?

Hi Guys,

I am planning on buying a wireless router and I want to use it at two places home and college.

Regarding home setup I know the BSNL guy very well so he sets it up for me. But I am confused about setup in college.

My college gives me a LAN cable with a static IP something like 192.168.74.149.

Now I want to input that LAN cable into a wireless router and use it for Laptop, Android smartphone and a wired connection to Seagate Goflex Net which I will be using as a downloader + NAS.

I want the router to act as a DHCP server for the three devices mentioned above.

I have also made a pictorial representation of the connection to help you..

Thanks in Advance..!

In college:

My college gives me a LAN cable (*RJ45) with a static IP something like 192.168.74.149.

depends on answer to (A)above.

just set the router in bridge mode(it may already be enabled by default) & almost all routers have dhcp enabled by default.you can simply take a look at the manual of your router(usually a pdf file on setup cd or get it from the website of manufacturer).

P.S.unless your college's main router/server has uPnP enabled you won't be able to use torrents for downloading.
