RE: Wi-fi Security

You could do it on an AP that has one of the linux based firmwares
that has
being hacked around a bit - I think all the wrt54g series that can do open
wrt can have multiple SSID's, and they each can be detached from the bridge
and made their own interface, so anoher interface, another IP range and
DHCP
on the WRT to give out the addresses, then some firewalling entries to only
route one port/ip to the other lan, and internet to somewhere for your
weather.



I would be tempted to proxy the internet access via another machine so you
can limit the URLs, but if you just watch the traffic levels you will soon
see if someone is on it raping your connection for all it will give -
otherwise expore rate limiting the internet access for them since they will
have stuff all data requirements

Hi All

I now have 4 Pronto 9600 with the serial/ir extender, all works well but
they have one downfall......They use wi-fi to connect to the extender
but the maximum security encryption is WEP128. This means I've had to
downgrade my wireless security in the house.

I was thinking that I could set up a separate wi-fi network just for the
pronto's but I'm now using the Slimserver control which means they need
access to my main server (2003 Server) where the squeezecenter software
runs. I also quite fancy adding a weather script too but that would
require internet access.

In short is there a way to set up a second wi-fi network which only
gives access to the server on port 9000 and possibly a specific range of
web URL's?

Oh and it needs to be simple so my little brain can cope!

Thanks

Rob
