Default Re: Network Gurus - help please!

Few good pointers here, thanks chaps.

The router is this:

http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/produc...g/dgn1000.aspx

As far as splitting goes, there is currently zero security between shared files on internal PC's and the public WiFi network. Anything really private or important isn't kept in shared folders, but still - it still makes me a little twitchy.

Given the above is our router, and we do have a couple of basic switches here that I can use, is it likely I could go down this route?

Quote:
if the router doesn't have enough interfaces, or isn't able to configure interfaces like this then you can get a 2nd cheap switch to give you:

LAN connections -> Switch1 -> Router LAN interface
Wifi points -> Switch2 -> Router DMZ port
Internet/ADSL connection -> Router Internet interface

Then you only need 2 LAN ports and the ADSL link.
Cheers again guys, much appreciated
