A little bit about what i'm doing: Im working on setting up the network system for a new mobile command unit for a local search and rescue team. Basically it's an enclosed trailer built out with computers and fancy equipment to act as a base for any search or rescue missions. I have some computer experience (building home computers and just tinkering) like most people on here, but never set up a network system.
So here is what I kinda have drawn up in my head. They will have a few ways of getting internet in the trailer. The first way will be via a mobile hotspot (either tethering off a phone or one of those Verizon hot spot devices). The second will be via another trailer. Basically it will just feed an ethernet cable to this trailer and receive internet this way. The third will be just picking up basic wifi while the trailer is in its storage location. My first question, is there a way to easily switch where the router in the trailer is picking up internet from? Can a normal "ethernet switch" accomplish this? Or will i have a hell of a time setting it up this way? Basically i want to use one central router that can be fed multiple ways if this makes any sense at all.
After it comes to a router it will just kind of act like a normal home system then. Being able to then access via the wifi and ethernet cable, have a storage system attached to it, and printers etc. Im trying to keep it kind of basic for these guys, most of them are on the older side, and tech isn't necessarily their forte. They wont need super high speed efficiency, the only real thing would be accessing google earth for some of their topographical. Also looking for recommendations for routers that are available now.
