I have a unique dilema that I can't find an answer to after scouring the forums.

Background: I live in a mountain(y) area and work from home. The 2 options for ISP's are DSL and HugesNet. DSL is flakey and maxes out at 3M down (yeah, in the most optimal conditions that have yet to occur) while HugesNet has a monthly 15GB data cap. I have a 24/7 server running Plex Server, Sickbeard, CouchPotato and Headphones in conjunction with SABnzbd (Newsgroup-related.) I'm planning on running the server on the DSL to avoid HugesNet's data cap. At the same time everything else will run off HugesNet.

Goal: I need the Server to be accessible by other PC's and connected STBs in and out of the house. Can I somehow bridge the connections so that the Server can be accessible to the other PCs without using HugesNet's connection?

My available gear: Netgear WNDR3700 & WNR834M, a couple of Powerline adapters and an old unused Netgear FVS318 Firewall/Router
