Hello,
I'm a student with a problem: On campus we have Wireless but the IT department is quite paranoid about it... well anyways, I want to get the HP StorageVault to backup important data without having something connected (with a cable) to my laptop.
As I ONLY have a WiFi (no wired LAN in the house) and the StorageVault has to be connected to a network (and it won't work with the school's wireless network), I decided to build my own network in my room:
I would get the Linksys Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge WET54G (http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1134692497433&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=9743339789B11) , connect it the WAN port of a wireless router to which LAN port the MediaVault is connected to, so that I can connect the StorageVault through my laptop's WiFi whilst using Campus WiFi through the router for web surfing etc.
Would this work as illustrated in the diagram?
Thanks a lot for you help!
