Wireless - making a virtual network for guests.

Ive to go to an office tomorrow and I dont know if they have their own router or not.

Small office that has occasional visitors that need wireless access.
Dont want to get a second internet bill for another BB account and router if you know what I mean .

Small windows workgroup setup.

Easiest way?

If ADSL > I can get a router that has a "virtual" guest wireless network?
If its not I can get a router that has a "virtual" guest wireless network?

fmarshall > thats brilliant.

So the only connection to each router is via the WAN port and they are all on diff subnets.
Clever.

So once the * changes the clients on each subnet cant see each other. Like so.
192.168.*.1
I can ping to test.

Alt get a router that has guest access.
These routers with guest access, even if password needed are not allowed to see other clients on the network I presume.

Either to an upper-level subnet or in a parallel subnet...
