Fw: [OT] Restricting lodger's network access

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes. My Netgear has this - you get a restricted guest wifi network
that
cant get to the local subnet


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

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

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

Regards

Simon
