I need to revamp my digital processing setup from hardwire to wireless. A Mac G4 computer needs to connect to 2 scanners and 3 printers and a stand alone hard drive.
The two scanners (Epson V750 and Coolscan 5000 ED are remote, 20 ft. away from the computer in a clean area. I'm an analogue guy so not fully conversant about such a hookup or even it's feasibility. I intend this to be a stand alone LAN, not connected to the internet. Has anyone here done this?
I think I need a router which stands alone and will communicate to all the peripherals via an IEEE 802.11n protocol (150 Mbps, I think). As far as I can tell the peripherals will need a network adapter that will plug into the serial ports. I assume some software to enable the setup will be provided with the router and will run on the computer.
I'm a bit worried about other external interference at the 2.4 Ghz freq. and especially so many peripherals operating off one computer/router. The printers are 2 Epson 3880s and one HP Deskjet D4260. Any experience or comments would be reassuring.
