Tips for setting up your network layout!
You need more wired connections for your devices instead of relying on wireless. The current setup has a modem, router, switch, and WAP, but you don’t have access to the switch. Consider adding Ethernet ports to your existing devices or setting up a dedicated wired network segment.
You're looking for a method to connect all your main devices through the AP. That's feasible, but the setup isn't guaranteed to succeed based on how the switch or router is secured. You might consider building a simple setup with a computer that has both wired and wireless NICs. Connect the wireless device first, then link that connection to another NIC on the same computer. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to a switch, making it a central hub for your devices. Be aware that speed and responsiveness could be limited due to network constraints. If you have access, you could try routing the port directly to a switch in your space for testing. The outcome will depend heavily on the overall network configuration.
