I know this can be done, but I can't get the router config right.
My goal is to physically connect(using an ethernet cable) a device(PLC, RTU, flow computer, whatever) to a LAN port on the wireless router and use my laptop's wifi connection to access that device through the wireless feature. Emulating both devices being on the same physical switch.
I picked up a typical home wireless router from a big-box store and did a little searching online, but can't find the info I need. I can config it to do pretty much anything I need...enabling/disabling DNS, DHCP, NAT, port-forwarding ,etc, but don't know the right setup to use.
Any input is appreciated.
