what i do is i run a LAN and have two networks (can do this quite easily
on one router with openWRT); a wpa2 (and sometimes freeRADIUS, if i
feel the context needs it) protected network and an open network (both
labeled appropriately).
the open network is a sort of outgoing DMZ; it has no routes to the LAN
and is firewalled appropriately.
so yes, virginia; one CAN have the best of BOTH worlds.
