Umm. you might want to consider flashing the access points with a 3rd-party
firmware, such as DD-WRT and you can restrict access inside the router
config with that. You might be able to restrict access inside the OEM
firmware as well, but I like the DD-WRT functionality myself. J

Subject: Protecting LAN access from Wireless Access points

 

Hi,

 

I currently have two wireless access points that provide wireless access to
the corporate LAN in two meeting rooms. To satisfy PCI compliance, I need to
install a firewall between each access point and the LAN and only allow
traffic from our corporate IP range through to the LAN. 

 

Has anyone done this before, and can you recommend any firewalls that will
do the job?  I have installed Smoothwall onto a PC and played around with it
but I'm not sure if it's the best solution for what I need.

 

Thanks,

Mark
