I have a few devices plugged into a Linksys SE2500 switch, which then plugged into an Airport Express (acting as a wireless bridge), which connects wirelessly to some Comcast modem/router. The wireless connection is not the strongest, but I need the devices plugged into the switch to always communicate with each other, without traffic needing to cross the wireless bridge. It seems this is not the case now. Would a "smart" or layer 3 switch help in this situation? I need the switch to be smart enough to keep the high bandwidth data between these devices on the wired side. What do I need to make this happen, ideally without creating a Double-NAT? I am at your mercy!
This doesn't make sense. If the devices are all on the same Layer 3 network, and they're not connected wirelessly, then their communication should always go through the switch. How are you determining that it isn't? – joeqwerty – 2014-07-12T15:45:06.853
