Two LANs, How to Inter-Access?
by jogl_z_8 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HX0X)
I have two LANs that used to be one LAN. The original (LAN1) is at my house. I have a DSL internet connection, which is fine for me. I have a wireless bridge set up that extends LAN1 to my son's house that is about 3/4 mile away. My son was using my LAN1 for internet connectivity.
My son now has a fibre connection and no longer is on LAN1, but the wireless bridge is still in place to service a switch and couple of arduino data collection devices that I have set up there (it is part of our farm).
What are my options to be able to use my son's internet connection (call it LAN2) on the rare occasion that my DSL is down or when I want to download something big fast (like an O/S image). I'd like to have it so that I don't need to change settings, etc., on his router.
So, what options do I have?
What terminology should I be using? Then, at least, I'd know what to search for!
Other advice?
Thanks,
JP.
