Re: A Subnetting/Wireless Access Problem
Well, you can't use a non-routable protocol on the router or it wouldn't be
able to route it.
Internet
| Your LAN
DSL Router - Wired Router <
| (wired) WAP (Private)
Cafe Router
|
WAP (Public)
This setup will allow you complete separation between your private network
and the cafe Wireless. You can't have it both ways - cafe customers can
either access the network attached to the WAP or they can't - if you and
they can both connect, you are connected to each other. SOHO routers will
isolate because of the NAT (Network Address Translation) not provide
"outside-in" connections to be made. You'll need to secure your private WAP
so that cafe clients cannot connect. I'd actually suggest not having a WAP
on the private LAN, but plug your laptop in for local LAN access, and use
the cafe wireless just for Internet (being sure you have client for
microsoft networks and file and print sharing diabled on the wireless).
