Wireless guest network with non-astaro AP

Hi,

I have the need for an wireless guest network and struggling to find out how to do this. I have tried to search and read alot on these forums. Seems like it is possible but not sure how to actually configure it.

I have an Linksys WRT54G router that i wanna use. How can i make this one to connect to the astaro or how can i get traffic trhough it ?

Kinda frustrating not to figure this one out. I think it might be kinda simple solution [:)]

Looking forward to some response [:D]

Thanks, Chris, that looks like a great solution for a lot of home users that have been using their wireless router as a wireless switch. In your solution, is the WAN port of the WRT54G used?

Bob,

In my case, no. But the Cisco\Linksys wireless routers generally have separate ethX interfaces for WAN and LAN with the LAN side having the 4 port switch bridged. DD-WRT has a toggle that says "Assign WAN Port to switch" as opposed to just leaving it in default routed mode. Once it is set to bridge, you can set it untagged to whatever VLAN you like or even set it as a tagged interface and prune it for specific VLANs. Pretty neat for a consumer grade AP.
