Is it possible to create a secondary SSID which only has access to the Internet - and no access to the LAN?
Following the tutorial at http://npr.me.uk/mssid.html I'm able to create another SSID which has no encryption - but that, sadly, gives access to my LAN.
I just want a "Guest" SSID that friends can connect to without me giving them a password, but which won't let them monkey with my servers.
Cheers
T

You also leave yourself open to drive by hijacking and how would you explain large amounts of illegal porn downloaded from your connection ?
It's just not worth the risk.

He's called it DMZ which isn't the same DMZ we think of normally with firewalls/forwarding.
You'll have to adjust the commands slightly to get the mssid to have no password.
I have tried this method and confirm it gives web access with no access to local computers or the router's settings page.
npr is a member here, he may pop in to help!

To be clear (well - as clear as I can be) I want...
Internet
|
|- |--Ethernet
| |
| |--WiFi (WPA2 secured)
|
|--Guest WiFi (open)
So my laptop can attach to WiFi and talk to the servers on my LAN.
My Friend's phone can attach to the guest wifi and NOT see anything on my LAN.

I currently have a virtual machine on my server which uses the main network card which goes to my PN connection/router as the gateway (192.168.1.x) but also uses the second network card to provide filtered and bandwidth limited data (192.168.2.x) which then feeds a <£10 router configured as an access point.
WAN -> Network card 1 -> Linux Server -> Squid3 / Shorewall / Dansguardian -> Network card 2 -> Edimax cheapo wireless router
It wouldn't take much to just block any internal Samba network or ports to services you don't want your friends to have access to.

As a matter of interest the O2 version of this router has a guest wlan option in the GUI -- makes things a lot easier
When I get time I'll dig out how the O2 router achieves this and put it on the web site.
I do however urge you to use a strong password on the second wireless. I'm sure you trust your friends but a open wireless connection has the potential to give you a shed load of trouble -- don't risk it!

Quote from: npr Yes, "advdmz.html" will do what you ask -- use option "d" to create a separate LAN for the guest wireless.
I do however urge you to use a strong password on the second wireless. I'm sure you trust your friends but a open wireless connection has the potential to give you a shed load of trouble -- don't risk it!
Brilliant! Just what I was looking for. Yes, I am a refugee here from O2 broadband 🙂
I'm quite happy giving out a bit of free wifi for those who need it. I'm in such an isolated area it wouldn't be worth the war driving 🙂
