If you're worried about others getting into other than the intended then create an SSID and do not broadcast it, suppliment it with wep using a strong password.<br />
<br />
Then make sure you're putting the wi-fi users in a different network subnet. Disable routing between your LAN and wi-fi, giving them access only to go out to internet.<br />

I have a store which we have 2 computers for administration on the Lan and we want to give access to the internet to our customers from the same router but we are worried about security issue with a open wi-fi connection , Would you guys have a suggestion to this ? We are using a Netgear FVG318 router .

Lan security with wi-fi open connection

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
