Let the OP decides how many options to consider and which one is the best one for him.

I am not a sales for Linksys and I don't use this forum for profit.
OMG, do you mean the OP has his/her own brain and is actually allowed to decide for him/herself?? What is this world coming too. Next things is OPs will think they can decide their marriage partner, as if they have the wisdom to choose correctly!!

I'm sure HIPAR is quite able to independently make the right decision for his/her situation and pocketbook. By implying anything else is insulting.

- two router method but via Janders instructions(the viable way to do this)
- the NBG334W
- a linksys unit that can hold third party firmware.

Spending more money then you have to of course is always an option, but then there would be a gazillion options, including buying an ISP!:-)

The RV082 let you have up to 8 port-based VLAN. You could set up VLAN #1 for family business, VLAN #2 for kids, and VLAN #3 for guests, and etc. In this way, whatever connected to VLAN #1 cannot communicate with whatever connected to VLAN #2. Simple and easy.

The only thing is RV082 is not cheap. It is about $275 for a new one, but you get what you paid for. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20459267 Fri, 09 May 2008 21:26:31 EDT Re: [Connection Sharing] Isolating WiFi from Wired http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20459131 fox7 : HIPAR:
Yes! I kind of overlooked your configuration. I was thinking wired first, then wireless into that, but your way the wireless first then the wired, there is no way the wireless could get to the wired network, because the wired router would be protecting it. Good point!!

Let's see if I understand. I guess what I would do is connect the DSL modem to the the wireless router whose LAN base IP is set to say 192.168.10.1 and connect one of its wired ports to the WAN connection of a daisy chained wired router whose base LAN IP is say 192.168.20.1 with that router set to get it's input IP automatically from the preceding router.

I have enough equipment available so I'll set it up on the bench for a test.

You could also 'Double NAT' and the wireless people and just not give them permissions to the share resources.

'Doulbe NAT' is running the wireless router out of the router that the wired network is on.

If you set up two VLANs, one for guest access and one for "wired" access, and tag those VLANs into the router's ethernet port, you have the same solution. Prolly a little more expensive than what Anav See Profile is proposing (I know Cisco gears will do this, but...they are pricey). However, you can sometimes pick up some cheap Cisco gear on eBay and get it working from there. I am not sure if any of the "enterprise grade" stuff from Linksys, Netgear, or DLink will perform the same thing.

Its a wifi DHCP serving circuit that is separate from the private LAN and only has direct access to the internet.

You can probably do this with some of the LInksys routers as well, that accept third party firmwares.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20453624 Thu, 08 May 2008 19:59:09 EDT [Connection Sharing] Isolating WiFi from Wired http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20453201 HIPAR : I need to configure a network with several wired computers that can share files between them and send/receive email and access the internet from a DSL modem. Also, there must be a WiFi access point for wireless users providing them only internet and email via the DSL modem; it must be isolated from the wired net to prevent visibility to shared resources.

Must be a common problem. How is this done?
