Windows 10: How to setup two WiFi devices on same computer to access two networks

I don't know how to describe this properly, but here goes.

I have a wifi router in my home with internet access (it is the DSL router/WiFi device provided by AT&T). In my home I have several computers on IP address 192.168.1.xxx One of these computers is my laptop.

I have a motorhome (I store it on my property). The motorhome has a router in it (it's a D-link DGL-4500) It connects to the motorhome's AVR, TVs, and BD player. I can use my Laptop to connect the motorhome network (which is on IP 192.168.0.xxx). But I can't get the AT&T internet on this router (the motorhome is too far away from my house, I think)

My Laptop has a built in WiFi, and it has a USB WiFi booster adapter (Alfa AWUS-036nh) so I see WiFi 1 and WiFi 2 on the laptop (1 is the home network/internet and 2 is the motorhome). With the Alfa I can see my home network on the Laptop and get Internet access on the Laptop while in the motorhome. However the motorhome network and Home network are seperate. I can't share files or connect the motorhome router to the internet (which is desirable so I can get movie streaming on my motorhome TV).

My question:
Can I put the motorhome router on the same IP network (the 192.168.1.xxx) so I can access the other computers files, and get connected to the internet? I'm thinking the Alfa WiFi will pick up the internet and home network and share it to the D-Link router in the motorhome.

Or is there another way to get my AT&T provided internet into the motorhome?

Thanks

Small business Wifi Network for 20-30 Devices?

I have been looking at this exact problem myself with the same range of numbers. I've found there are a wide range of choices and performance of the network very much depends on how much money you're willing to put into it.

Our wifi consisted of a single modem/router and the devices were only requesting internet access, the problem we were getting was either devices getting dropped off the network or just very little internet access at all when it was connected. From doing some studying I concluded that i could improve the performance by separating the roles, having a modem dealing with the connection to the outside world and DHCP and having a more powerful router handle the wireless devices (the router I was looking at was the model down from your suggested one, the Asus RT-N66U), you could probably go one further and add a low spec'd server box dealing with DHCP, DNS, etc. This was the cheapest option but left no real room for scaling up devices.

The other was as has been suggested, getting a wireless controller/gateway with multiple access points, obviously the cost scales higher but you also increase the overall capacity of the network with good performance, and usually with a good controller you can further add more access points to increase range/devices.

I think in this case it's very much you get what you pay for.

 

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

 

Poor transfer speeds over network with WiFi [Solved]

The more devices accessing the wifi the more traffic there is,qos has to schedule bandwidth, there could be other wifi networks on same channel as yours is...
