I have always had a fully "wired" configuration in my office network ( no laptops, etc), and I use a "main computer" as my server (AC 8.2.4). I would like to begin a trial run using a laptop, but would need to know how to configure things so that my wireless laptop can somehow "join" the wired network, in order to access the main computer where the database is. I'm sure this may have been covered in previous threads , so if so, please feel free to direct me to that link.
I do have a wireless router in the office, which I use for Wifi for my ipad and iPhone, as well as a Guest Wifi Network.
Current config is:
Comcast Cable Modem/Router (I have three computers plugged directly into the LAN ports in the router) ----> Netgear 5 port switch (where other computers are plugged in, together with a cable coming from the cable modem/router) -----> Netgear Wireless Router (one cable from the switch plugged into its internet port). All the LAN ports on the wireless router are empty.
Any help is appreciated.
