[PLUG] Guest Wi-Fi

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Following up on the "Router Recommendations" email, any thoughts on how 
to do "guest" Wi-Fi at home?

Right now I have an ancient WRT54GL (really) on a separate physical FW 
segment, with rules to allow this and that to the physical LAN segment. 
I also have a really, really long, random passphrase, which can be a PITA.

What I'd like to do is get a modern Wi-Fi router (don't care about 
Ethernet ports), or maybe two, and have one for internal, really 
*trusted* devices with LAN access, and the other for everything else 
(e.g., Roku, phones, guests, etc.) that goes straight to the internet 
with little or no LAN access.

One idea is to move the WRT54GL to a guest segment and just get a new 
device for the Wi-Fi (with LAN rules) segment.  But that means that 
guest Wi-Fi is really old, which is not a show-stopper, but...  And I 
can see the 2 units interfering with each other, maybe?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
JP
