Im trying to configure my work router ( belkin 54g/n) so that we can have customers use out wifi point while waiting for their bike to be serviced.

I have figured out that i can block ip addresses from accessing the internet by telling the router to stop access to port 80 and this seems to work.
what port would i block (if this method is practical) if i want to stop that PC seeing the other machines on the network?
I have found a list of ports but am unsure which one(s) i need to block to do this.

any help would be great!

What you would normally do fella is create a seperate VLAN for Guest Wireless. Create your LAN > Outbound NAT rules and then Deny access to work LAN from the Guest Wireless.

Job done.

 

And you can do this with standard routers that you would use in your home? We don't have any servers or what I'd class as corporate equipment. I had a look at the router settings and I could find settings for a virtual server but dont remember seeing one for a vlan. I will have a look Tuesday when I'm back in the office and see what I can find.

 

Well that answers if I can do it at work on the kit we have. It's a router you would buy for your home so I doubt it will do that. I will give maplins a call as I don't really like pc world ( I'm a bit of a snob and like the staff to know what they are talking about, and they don't in the ones round my way) and see what they have to offer.

 

I really wouldn't use Maplins as your main supplier they are expensive and not really an IT supplier.

Look at dabs, scan, overclockers, ebuyer, novatech for consumer IT gear. Expect others can let you know corporate level re-sellers.

There is open source firmware like DD-WRT that can be installed into some consumer routers to give them more capabilities like maybe basic VLAN support.

cheers guys, managed to find a netgear one that does support a guest network and a btetter firewall than the one i curently have etc. Its about £70 and the guv has OK'd it so it's on the way. Just hope it all goes well when i swap the existing one out lol
