I want to setup an isolated 2nd LAN (separate subnet) to support a router/AP that would be used to provide hotspot access for the public, but I want that subnet to be totally isolated from my private LAN. I will outline my approach and would appreciate any comments if this would work or not. My current connection setup is: DSL-modem (192.168.1.1) --> Router-1 (192.168.2.1), a BELKIN. Router-1 feeds a local printer and one pc. From one of its LAN ports I have a Switch that provides more ports that feed a few more PCs, all on 192.168.2.x. For the hotspot configuration: I would be using a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT: Router-2. The hotspot LAN needs to be subnet 192.168.10.x. Therefore, I configure Router-2 with IP address 192.168.10.1. I use the WAN port of Router-2 and connect it to any free port of Router-1. I configure Router-2 with WAN IP 192.168.1.3 (the same WAN IP that Router-1 uses). I leave DHCP enabled. I move all 192.168.2.x devices to the Switch which hangs off Router-1. Does this sound like it would work and keep 192.168.2.x and 192.168.10.x LAN isolated from each other? --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)* Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789.0) SEEN-BY: 3/0 633/267 640/954 712/0 313 550 620 848 953 @PATH: 123/789 500 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
