[Discuss] Home Wireless Routers OT



I have a similar issue and my solution was to buy two cheap NetGear
refurbs at MicroCenter.

I put the "guest" WiFi on its own subnet and route through the cable
modem. My internal wifi is part of the cable modem network.  One advantage
is that two wifi systems effectively double your wifi as well.
