Build a LAN with a WNDR3400v2
I'm trying to make a wifi LAN with 4 devices for sharing. I don't need full time internet as it's a metered connection and I want to keep data usage down to a minimum. (It seems I need the internet connection for updating/setup for the router) All I have for internet connection is wireless hotspot on my S4. "EVERYONE" claims I need "fulltime" internet or WAN to operate a LAN. I've seen C/NET articles that state LAN networks can be set up WITHOUT internet connection. C/NET is a well respected website with a wealth of good information about computer technology. What I can't find is HOW to set up the LAN I want. The devices I want to share with are: HP TouchSmart IQ500 series desktop w/W10 Asus Eee PC 1005PEB netbook w/W7 Starter Polaroid M10 2-1 tablet w/Marshmallow Galaxy SPH1337 S4 smartphone w/KitKat 4.4.2 It's a conundrum and challenge for me and would love for a knowledgeable tech person to help me figure this out. I'm willing to email off here and will post results to this if it's solved. I admit, it's bigger than the subject line. OH, how do I change my email address here? Nothing listed in my profile or settings.Solved
