RE: [OT] Restricting lodger's network access

[Simon Haslam <simon_haslam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Note the logder will need to pay for a BT Openzone account too (I
think BT =
home internet packages include a certain amount per month).

BT Homehubs also have that feature as well.



The Openzone users have a completely separate WAN Address to the Homeowner

and the bandwidth is also limited to about 1Meg so that they don't impact

BT business Hub routers have BT OpenZone wireless access that can be turned

on in the setup.  The advantage is that the lodger has to log into the

router with a BT Connect password and browsing is kept separate from the

main account. This means that if there's any lodger naughtiness (porno,

paedo stuff etc...) the adsl subscriber isn't held accountable.

I'm absolutely not an expert on this, but was setting up a router recently

for a friend, and noticed that it had a guest network feature, which as far

as I understand is a no security network allowing access to the Internet,

but no access to other computers on the normal home network=20



Google for adsl router guest network should turn up a few results



Hope that helps a bit, someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly :)
