Hi,
I am switching my ISP, and the new cable setup I want to have is; a cable modem from my ISP with an RJ45, connected into my TC (WAN Port), and then all my computers wired/wireless into the TC, including an AE (via an already installed 50 ft. ethernet cable to my top floor). TC handles all DHCP/IP, and WiFi in the lower floors, and the AE handles WiFi in the top floors.
However, for this to work, I need to install an additional RJ45 from the cable modem to the TC, and that is not so easy (basement walls - 30 feet distance), and not really pratical.
Is there a way I can use "a component" to wirelessly send the internet from the cable modem to the TC? I.e. can the TC be setup to receive internet via WiFi, and still provide all the firewall services etc.?
TIA
