Hey there, I'm looking for a Wireless HUB/Switch with support for Internet (through ADSL, this is NOT a PPPoE connection it's a VPN/PPTP), NAT, DMZ and LAN. The point is, I hear a lot of bad things about some brands and just nothing at all on some others. What I'm looking for is advice on which ones are good, since security is an important aspect here. If anyone wants to advice on the encryption of the traffic, please do so as well, as I heared the WEP encryption itself can be cracked after 200 frames or something.
Ofcourse it will need to do some kind of portforwarding towards the DMZ and NAT for the LAN. --------- ----------- | WWW | | Business| --------- ----------- | | | | --------- -------------- |ADSL Ro| | ISDN Router| --------- -------------- | | | | --------- ----------- ------------- | DMZ |---------| WiFi HUB|-------| LAN | --------- ----------- ------------- Hope this picture is a bit clear... The WiFi HUB should be connected to the ADSL Router (Alcatel Speed Touch Home Pro) which in turn is connected to the internet. The WiFi HUB will need to establish a VPN/PPTP connection with the ADSL Router for this. On the other side of the WiFi HUB should be a DMZ and a LAN. The DMZ preferably has another IP range than the LAN has for easier set up of the firewall and a clearer separation of the 2. Within the LAN will be an ISDN router towards the business for homeworking. It should not be possible for the business LAN to access the Internet through the home connection nor vice versa. The security aspect is really important here as the home user is providing webservices which might easily be exploited and the companies LAN needs to be secure. In case anyone is familiar with it, the internet connection is one provided by MXStream (KPN, Netherlands). They use a kinda odd way to setup internet connections (VPN/PPTP, whereas this is normally PPPoE). Kind regards, Ferry van Steen InfoPart Automatisering B.V.
