Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I'm running into some interesting issues (probably non-supported)
Instead of picking up the Asus units, I had in the closet a linksys router that was reflashed with 3rd party sveasoft firmware to turn it into an AP. On the other end, I have a normal linkys wireless router that it talks to and runs DHCP, etc.
Basic layout is [Home Computer] -> [Linksys Router] <--> [Linksys AP] <---> [ED w/ Conductor] <---> [Smart Hub]
Good news: The Conductor will relay show information and time information to my home computer. I can also plug in a laptop to the AP's wire ports and get an IP from the master router and control the Conductor from there.
Bad News: I cannot seem to send commands from the home computer via the control panel software to the Conductor over the access point connection. It almost feels like I entered the wrong password. I can click start show, change the time, etc and nothing happens on the end.
I assume that this is nothing more then packets not being able to be sent from my home pc all the way to the ED. But the ED sending broadcast packets back to the control panel seems to be working just fine. Is that a good assumption? If so, that doesn't seem too bad as I can monitor the show but not edit any of the parameters without running a cat5 cable out the window if I need to change anything.
Otherwise, I guess I can pick up three Asus units and have one on the home computer, one on the ED, and another one for a slave if I determine to expand this year across the street (still in progress).
Thanks!
