Two wireless hubs talking?

RAA_Kr1cH · 28-September-04, 02:09 PM

Me and my buddies are planning a lan party for oct. 28-31, we never have that big of a turnout, maybe 4-6 ppl. We are trying to have more this time, so heres what I was wondering. 2 groups of computers, group A, and B. Group A has the internet connection, and 3 or 4 other computers connected through cables to a wireless hub. Group B, 30 ft. away has the same setup, minus the net connection. Is it possible for the two hubs to communicate wirelessly to connect the two groups together? I'm just curious, cuz I don't want to drape lan cables throughout my house.

thx

I say you're better off draping cables, regardless. If you can get them to connect (which I'm not sure of), it's not going to be worth all the drop-outs and the slower network speed that wireless will give you.
