Well, if buying some new (used) equipment is in the budget, I'd pick up a Cisco Aironet 1200 AP. You can get them pretty reasonable on EBay. I'd also pick up a couple of directional attennas. The Aironet can have multiple SSIDs, each on its own VLAN. Then all you need is some kind of device capable of routing between VLANs (I believe a linksys with hacked firmware can do this, or any linux router with 3 nics), and you're good to go. The only downside to this, aside from spending $$$, is that when you have multiple SSIDs on the same AP, you can't broadcast. This is pretty similar to what we use at Netstandard for our wireless solution, but we've got 3 Wifi networks on the same AP.

as I see it the question is, is there a way to expose the one server, while still providing wireless for your other devices, using a single access point, and the answer is no. He's going to need a second access point. One AP for the public wireless and one for his unrestricted private.

I disagree.

no you don't. Your pictures, with one wireless node, are not providing a trusted wireless, that has access to the LAN section, in addition to the untrusted wireless.

I said that if you want a trusted wireless and an untrusted wireless both, you need to WAPs. Your diagrams agree with that. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
