Re: Wireless Router with multiple VLAN support
You could always go the "cheap" route by buying a used Cisco 1200 series and an old Cisco 2900XL (or newer 2950) series switch. Of course, you'll need a router that has enough routable interfaces (as opposed to assigned on a common collision domain) to handle two internal networks, or have at least L3 switching capability, but it's one way of doing it.
BTW, this is what I use at home. Slightly dated "commercial-grade" equipment at reasonable prices. You would also have to set the proper filtering / routing policies on the router as well to ensure that traffic from one inside network doesn't route to the other. You can always set up an OpenBSD or Linux box as a router and use pf / iptables to make this happen.
Once you use real equipment, you'll never look at consumer-grade equipment the same again. The downside is configuration granularity = much more complex. |
