IME, these wireless routers have no ability to segregate parts of the
wireless network. I've not used this particular model, so I couldn't
guarantee. However, I think it's pretty safe to say it won't support VLANs
on the wireless interface. The only ways round your issue I can think of
are:
1. Lock your machines down. Install a firewall, turn off the server
service, and anything else providing a service to your network.
2. Install another access point for people other than yourself, firewalled
from your main network. This can be left wide open, but lock your router's
wireless interface to MAC address, turn on WEP, etc.
Cheers,
Andy
