The BSNL connection needs to be dedicated to PC1
Airtel connection needs to be shared between PC1, PC2 & laptop
PC2 & laptop should be able to share their files
PC1 can share files only with PC2
PC1 & PC2 need to be wired and laptop needs to be wireless.
Hardware available - Airtel modem 220BX (don’t mind changing to a modem + wired/wireless router)
BSNL Modem - Would like to buy - which one?
2 lan ports on PC1
1 lanport on PC2
Wireless on Laptop
Thanks for your inputs.
Since you already have a Beetel 220BX from Airtel, get a wireless router and hook it up to the Beetel. Connect PC1 and PC2 to the wireless router via ethernet. This way, the BSNL connection is exclusively set aside for PC1 and since PC1 and PC2 are both wired to the router, they will be able to share files and the Airtel connection too. The laptop would be wirelessly connected to the wireless router for it’s internet connection.
