Re: Secure and unsecure install problem

I would set up with two wireless routers back to back like this:

dsl --- open-router ---- wep router

The internet/wan port on the wep enabled router would plug into on of
the switch ports of the unsecured (open) router. The office users
would be protected from access by the open users, and all will able to
access the internet. Routers seem to just as cheap as plain AP's
nowadays. I wouldn't put them on top of each other, separate them by a
few feet. Additionally setup the office users to have their AP listed
first in preferred networks page of Windows.
