Re: [OT] Restricting lodger's network access

[Robin Edwards <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I realise this is a bit late for this particular request.  However,
hopefully it
might help someone investigating this area in the future.

I have a Draytek Vigor 2820 router and have just set up something very
similar.
It allows up to 4 SSIDs on wireless and whilst all four share the internet
connection you can individually allow them access to the five RJ45 ports on
the
router.  So for my needs one of my SSIDs has all five ports visible the
other
SSID has none, seems like other combinations are available, I've just not
needed
them.

Does it work ok?  Well I managed to connect to the SSID that sees no RJ45
ports
and spent quite a while puzzling why my IMAP connection to my server had
stopped
working, so yes, seems to be watertight (well as far as I can go).
