ExFat JBOD RN104 DLNA server for Bravia TV
Hello, I'd like to set up my rn104 to use new exfat formatted HD's as a DLNA server for a Bravia TV. The plan is to connect the RN104 to a wi-fi router (gigabit) but also have the option of connect...
Oh yeah, sorry, CPL is the french word (used it by reflex, since I never seen the english word for it...), but basically I meant ethernet over electric cables. @Stephen, thanks for the translation.
There is nothing preventing you to add another router behind your current one, as long as you make sure you have only one DHCP server. I personally have a Cisco 1812 replacing my ISP router which is now in bridge mode (it just allows to convert ethernet to cable, it does nothing else). I am a little bit paranoid about security, that's why I have Cisco hardware to have a decent firewall and a time capsule to provide wifi and a backup space for my important files. But a basic router will do the trick for you as long as it has good antennas.
@max, glad you haven't had any big problem. Even if you had some, connectivity problems are quite straightforward to diagnose and to patch (when dealing with non-professional networks at least).
