Thanks to the users in this forum, I recently installed the latest dd-wrt software on my router. I use WPA2 encryption.

I regularly have people come over who ask me for my wireless password. This is fine. I want them to be able to use the internet, but unfortunately, once they are on my network, they can also access all my other computers including my NAS (where I keep my Tax stuff).

Is there a way I can limit "their password" to internet (and maybe printer) only, and have "another password?" for my own laptops that gives me full network access (including computers printers and NAS)?

Create a virtual WLAN on a new bridge:

Then use IPTABLES to restrict access:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Multiple_WLANs#Restricting_Access

e.g.

Code:
iptables -I FORWARD -i br1 -o br0 -m state --state NEW -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o br1 -m state --state NEW -j DROP


You need more firewall rules than the above to get it working so read through the Wiki Guide

Hello,

I have the same request: I am wanting to give access to guests but not my entire network. I have successfully created guest network before, but my question is, can I create the guest access with a Virtual WLAN bridge on a "Repeater"?

I am running a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH as my main router with a Linksys WRT54G as a repeater. Everything is working great now. I just would like to add a guest SSID to the Linksys router.

Thanks for your thoughts in advance!
