Separating Wired and Wireless Networks
Hi all
OK so this is maybe a bit OT for the group, but here goes. I've never been a fan of wireless, so cabled the house up with Cat 5 to a number of rooms. There are clearly now numerous devices that will only connect wirelessly and I am under pressure to add a WAP. I've inherited a Netgear DG834G wireless router, our existing network uses the wired version of this device. I have set up the wireless router as a WAP OK, but wondered if it is possible to configure it as a DHCP server with a different address range to the wired router. Not sure how much security this would add, but I'm inclined to do as much as possible to separate the wireless network from certain wired devices. The SSID of the WAP is hidden and MAC address filtering on that router is in place. Anyone setup a separate wired and wireless network? TIA Phil |
