Re: [OT] Restricting lodger's network access

["Simon Coates" <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

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

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

Simon
