Wireless repeater

[builder22]

is it possible to have an open unsecured network on the main router but have a password protected connection set up on a repeater?

Ie no password needed in the house/main routers range (there's a reason for this) but password needed for in the garden...so passing randoms can't log in.

sorry, bit more explanation....
it's my parents house, passwords confuse things...I can't remember exactly but I've had their router set up with a password before, when one of their laptops disconnects they cant get it logged back in again, so easiest thing is no password

my objective is to get a signal in the yard/outbuildings without disturbing anything in the house, so was thinking a repeater

I really can't remember the problem...detached, fairly rural so no real concerns but was thinking an external booster/repeater would allow the signal to be picked up from the main road

As I say, no real concerns...they have no neighbours!
