What I am looking for is a device that will allow guests access to the internet but not to any other device on the network including other wireless clients. It also needs to allow users on the non-guest SSID access to the network as well as internet. Thanks in advance.	NZTrickY (13396)

The router creates a separate SSID so guests can establish an Internet connection but can't access other locations on your network, such as PCs or network-attached storage drives. This feature also generates a guest password (you can create one yourself or ask the configuration page to generate one for you) that is displayed on the router's LCD for easy reference. Do you need 802.11N? Are you planning to use it for an internet hotspot?	nofam (9009)

I read about this router in the PC World magazine and it looks like a good one thus far, but I was wondering if there was any others on the market that also offered this feature.	NZTrickY (13396)

The articles mentions three such routers * D-Link DWL-2200AP * SMC 2552W-G2 * Linksys WAP200 as well as a free firmware replacement that brings Multiple SSID's and more to compatible routers. From my searches it seems the Linksys WAP200 is available in NZ, but the D-Link DWL-2200AP isn't . Thanks for piquing my curiosity!	bachelorno1 (6556)
