[CoLoCo] set up one secure ap and one game ap

[Jim Hutchinson]

I've been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and not much luck.
I'm wondering if any of you can give me a simple explanation or point me to
one.

Here is the scenario: I have 2 wireless routers. I want to set up one that
is as secure as can be. In fact, I think I already have this. My main router
is set up with WAP2 personal. The trick is the second router. I want this
one to be set up as a game ap with minimal security. The nintendo ds for
example, can't do WAP only WEP. So I can set this one up with WEP but being
that it's not really secure I'm concerned that I have a weak spot. Anyone
cracking WEP and connecting to that router also has a connection to the rest
of the lan network. I'm not too concerned about them getting free internet.
But I am concerned about giving someone a backdoor to my network with lock
that is broken.

How do I set up the second WEP enabled router to isolate it from the overall
lan and provide a web connection only? Between a Linksys wrt54g and a D-Link
wbr-2310, which would you set up as the secure router and which as the
gaming router? Is one "better" than the other?

Currently, both routers have DHCP off and the actiontec modem dishes out
DHCP. The two routers and actiontec are set up like this:

Actiontec ----> Linksys (connected to lan port) ----> D-link (from lan port
on Linksys to lan port on D-link). This set up works. Both APs can be
connected to with a laptop and both have internet and lan connectivity (i.e.
a laptop connected to either wireless ap can see both routers, the
actiontec, other computers on the network, the network printer, and so on).
I don't want this much connectivity. D-link or Linksys to internet only and
nothing else. Any thoughts?

Sorry that is kind of confusing. I was tying to give a clear picture.

Thanks,
Jim
