Re: securely mixing WEP and WPA - two routers required? Your mistake is that you're hanging the 2nd router off the first router's LAN port. They are not separate networks, one is "inside" the second.
To do what you want to do, you need either 3 routers or a router that provides for two independent subnets on the LAN side. |

1 edit | assuming you don't try to double-NAT (ill-advised), and assuming you have a Internet Service provider that gives you the normal one IP address (public side), you can have ONE router. O-N-E.
You can have as many access points as you'd like. Each can run WEP or WPA or nothing, independently. And each can have whatever SSID you like.
You can use a wireless router to emulate an access point, if it is configured correctly; that's discussed in the FAQs. In this case, it is an access point, NOT a router. The WAN port goes unused. |

Arlington, VA | said by stevech0:assuming you don't try to double-NAT (ill-advised) I think this is overblown. Double NAT isn't a problem 99% of the time, especially if you control all routers in the chain.
If I was the OP, I'd also be considering running something like M0n0wall with multiple NICs and setting up a true DMZ for the WEP wireless access. |
