Re: securely mixing WEP and WPA - two routers required?

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.

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.
