Totally separate public and private networks

[goombawaho]

Scenario: Customer wants to provide public wifi from his DSL connection but the networks have to be totally isolated. Why? Because their Point of Sale (Opticard system) gift card system could see the open wireless when I had it set up with just a second Linksys router and would not allow funds to be added to gift cards. It's a security measure on the Opticard side of things.

So, I'm trying to figure out if something like a TZ100 or TZ200 series is what I need to totally segregate the networks (private can't see/access public side and public can't see/access private side) maybe using VLANs.

Any advice appreciated.

the TZ210 can seperate the networks like you need. The public Wifi can be put in to a DMZ port on the Sonicwall to keep public Wifi seperated from your LAN.

Thanks for replying. So, the private LAN could not see the wireless on the DMZ port if you configure it properly - correct? Just want to confirm before I head in this direction.

That is correct.
