I did this with a Tropical Smoothie Café that wanted to offer free WiFi to their customers, and wanted a secured wireless for the owner's use.

Not at all. We've got two of these router+WAP boxes. Connect first box's Internet port to cable modem. LAN side of this box is the guest network. Plug second box's Internet port into LAN side of first box. LAN side of second box is the trusted network. You're double NAT'ing, but that's usually not a problem for SOHO environments. I've done this before for a friend who wanted something similar, and it worked for them. I wouldn't want to run a "big business" on it, but that doesn't seem to be what's under discussion. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > 2008-2009 Season: Tosca | The Barber of Seville > Recently Announced: Virginia Opera's 35th Anniversary Season 2009-2010 Visit us online at www.vaopera.org or call 1.866.OPERA.VA This e-mail and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
