Mixed (WiFi & Powerline) home network help if possible.

[Dan Thompson]

Hi

I've set up a bit of a mix of network so I can place my WiFi router in the best location for coverage across the house.

I've got a BT HH5 as my modem, connected to a TP-Link Powerline adapter feeding 2 further powerline adapters. On one of these is a TP-Link Archer VR900 providing WiFi coverage and a wired connection to one PC. In another room is another Powerline adapter with a PC, a Sonos Connect and a SmartPets receiver wired to it (ie connected via ethernet cable).

What I need to do is be able to access the wireless clients and wouter from the PC connected to the second powerline adapter (the host powerline adapter is connected to the HH5 to provide the internet connection to the VR900).

I'm not certain how I can achieve making the WiFi clients visible to the PC not connected to the VR900, as I've a wifi printer connected that I now can't access, and I'd also like to get the Sonos Connect to see the other Sonos products that are on WiFi.

Any advice greatly received!

Thanks in advance,

Dan

IS the VR900 configured as a router?

If it is reconfigure it as an access point. All the connected devices will then be able to see each other.
