So now I'm considering possibilities. The favourite at the moment is to buy another device (router? AP? I don't know what its called) that Ican wire into my main network and can establish a new wifi network that I can control better, and move all my devices to that. But I don't know what devices will allow me to do that, or which is best?
Any AP that does routing will do. It needs to have DHCP. For example, I have an "Asus RT-N12D1". it can be set in "Wireless router mode" (default), "AP mode", or "repeater mode". I have it in AP mode, you would need "router mode". In AP mode it does have a guest setting, but it doesn't assign a different LAN to it. But devices would have internet access the instant you define (or it finds) the default gateway. This instant I don't see how to disable it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
