I need a solution for installing a public wireless network but use my existing internet connection. It has to be secure to not allow access to my internal LAN. I have tried the 2 separate networks but we need to branch out more beyond the physical limits.

T1 internet connection
SonicWALL Pro 2040 firewall
All internal switches support VLAN tagging
Access point currently are all Linksys units.

Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks!

What kind oof firewall are you using - most Sonic wall NSA or TZ or Pros come with multi-ports (zones) that allow you to seperate networks including the WWLAN, WAN and the LAN with the enhanced mode. Then all you do is develope Address objects, rule in the NAT table and rules in the Firewall Access Rules.
