Sharing hotel wifi internet

Post by rpgweb »

Greetings,

Sorry for the newbie question, but i am by no mean a network guy :-)

I''ve been using gargoyle for some years now and have been very happy with it. I was wondering if i could use it to share the wifi internet connection of hotel rooms for example, with my wired devices through the router's 4 gigabit port?

Is that what the "bridge" feature of gargoyle all about? Taking the internet from wifi instead of the wan port and sharing it to the 4 wired ports of the router?

This would be very useful to connect my voip pap2t for example, which does not support wifi but only wired connection.

Thanks!

Maybe?

Yes you can use fixed wire with gargoyle but im not sure how your voip with handle NAT.

I would suggest you just try and post your results.

I don't think bridged mode works as you expect?

OpenWRT has a bridged AP mode

but from my understanding this is different to gargoyle "Wireless Bridge/Repeater" mode.
