We are setting up our conference rooms with wireless.   We are looking
to have different connection capabilities for employees and visitors. One
access point we are looking at is:
http://www.netgear.com/Products/BridgesAccessPointsandExtenders/AccessPoints/WA
G102.aspx

The 2.x firmware allows multiple SSIDs to be defined on each of the two
wireless bands.  Each SSID has its own security type (WEP, WPA/2, etc.) and
VLAN.

The employees will connect to the "employee" SSID, which will put
them on the employee VLAN (i.e., inside the firewall) at the access point.
Visitors will be given the current password for the "visitor"
SSID, placing them on a VLAN that is outside our firewall.

Nice things like PoE and RADIUS support are available as well.
