IT guys I need help finding a router

[ronny]

When I saw your post, I was gonna suggest Lowes or Home Depot. But, now, I'd say don't go there.

Thanks for all the input guys,

I too like the two router method and I have set up guest access that way in the past. I can do without the splash page ( other then it would be a great place to put links to Tulsa landmarks and such. My only major concern is bandwidth control... We are looking at a 30 meg down Fiber link and I gotta set a couple things that will need to take priority and keep the 16 year olds from taking advantage and draining all the bandwidth from all the other guests

I'm a DD-WRT guy, but I'm very technically inclined...

I saw that but decided in the end that momma would not be too happy with me if I used our router as a guinea pig

SonicWall or Fortinet are both good devices for that sized imp. I no longer install them but can point you to someone who can get you pricing and more information offline if you want.

I would go with a sonicwall or a cisco, or maybe both!

Lol... If my wife only knew....

I run 3 wireless routers on our property on DD-WRT... one at each end of the trailer and one in the garage. WRT54Gv2, WRT54Gv8, and WRT54G2v1. They do more tricks than the Ciscos we had at the school that cost 7-10x as much.

I'll offer another sonicwall vote. Thing works like a charm.

Sonicwall Security Appliance

Well, I flashed my wrt54gs V.2 with dd-wrt mega and I'm glad I did. LOTS of great stuff. I think with two routers and 8 or so access points I'll be good to go

Thanks guys
