I have a question for the people familiar with the tomato firmware. I have my router (Netgear) on the first floor and I am running tomato on a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 on the 2nd floor. The Buffalo on the 2nd floor is runnnig in Wireless Bridge Mode, so the router downstairs is assigning the IP addresses.
If I have a media player and a NAS connected to the wireless bridge, will data going from the NAS to the media player go through the router on the first floor? Or is the bridge smart enough to give me a wired connection between my NAS and media player?
There is an option in tomato to setup the Buffalo as a wireless client. I can enable the DHCP on the Buffalo unit and put all the clients connected to it on a different subnet. Will this work better for me?
FYI, I haven't purchased the NAS yet. I do have the wireless bridge and currently have a slingbox connected to it.
Thanks
