[Discuss] Home Wireless Routers OT



On the same topic. ?I have a Verizon Fios router and two access points. ?Lately I have my friends asking for internet access. ?I would like to give them a guest wireless access just to access the internet. ?I could use one of the two access points to setup another guest SSID. ?Could I use "DMZ host" on the router ?to connect this access point? What is the best practice to use in this?scenario?

Thanks,
Aldo

Combine Mark's option with VLANs on your firewall (ie, DD-WRT) and you can keep the guest segment completely isolated from the rest of your home network.
