Hello again,
I have a question. My OBi110 has been on a DIR-655 connected to DSL via my PK5000 for several years now (works perfectly, thanks). However, this coming Monday (6/3/2013) my line will be terminated, and my Modem returned and I will be forced to run 100 feet of Cat6 to the main Modem/router (yes we had two service lines and two modems, but that is ending this weekend). My room will thus lose its modem and router and of course my DSL service. However, I will be gaining 40/5 Mbps service but only via Wireless-N and a single Cat6 Ethernet cable (100ft run).
So, with these new options (wifi or single Ethernet) I need to service my OBi110, my Panasonic BluRay/Netflix player, my Main Computer, my Android Tablet and my Windows 8 laptop (and maybe my Media Server).
So my plan. I am thinking of taking the Cat6 Ethernet cable and going directly to the Main computer (one device down), then getting a Linksys WES610N Wireless Bridge with 4-port switch (or any good bridge) and servicing the BluRay/Netflix player and the OBi110. I know this Bridge w/switch works with the BluRay player because that is what it is designed for, but will the OBi110 work connected to the wireless Ethernet switch? Or can I use a normal switch maybe connected to the single Ethernet run and then service everything via cat6 cable?
That is my dilemma and I am not sure how to proceed. Any ideas on what I should do would be helpful. Thanks
Rod
