I have a unique situation where a customer wants to run two wireless networks in his house. One network will be connected to his Point to Point T1 line with his office, the other will connect to his Cable broadband connection.

I am assuming at least that I need to have the wireless APs on different channels for this all to work. I was also planning on MAC address filtering and 128-bit WEP.

Has anyone run into something like this? Do you think it will work?

Any suggestions would be appreciated
 
different channels will be the highest throughput solution, 802.11b allows 3 channels with no conflicts at all. Different SSIDs will keep the networks seperate.

I do hope you consider one WLAN with two routes, as it seems cheaper and simpler, than two WLANs

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
