just after other peoples opinions before i go ahead with what iv got planned.

ADSL connection comes in and goes to a router, then off to a switch, then a number of pcs are connected to the switch.

we need to have wireless internet access, using a number of access points. however it will be sharing the existing connection. however there needs to be some security between wifi access and the pcs already in place. basically they shouldnt be able to access the pcs at all.
How would you go about doing this?
 
not quite sure on that?
i was thinking of plugging a seperate wireless router into the existing router, would this do the trick.

tolien im not quite understanding you! 'Connect WAN port to network port on your machine'

there are a few wired machines that need to be seperatre from the wifi.
 
ok, so if i plug a cable router into the existing router, it will hopefully run on a seperate subnet, get the newly added router to run DHCP for the wifi clients. this way they should only be able to get internet access, and nothing on the other subnet connected to the original router.
 
wow guys, were all going a little offtrack here.
unfortunately i wont know the make or model of the existing equipment until i go to fit the wifi equipment, so iv got to go in with a plan that will work no matter what.
so do we agree adding a wireless cable router to the existing router will work here?
