Re: Wireless Router Shared

That's pretty much it.

Buy a wired router and connect it's WAN/Internet port to one of the LAN/Network ports of the wireless router. Reset the wired router to factory defaults, which should be right to make a connection. Put all of your private wired machines on the new router, and the customers will still be using the old wireless machine. Your machines will be behind the NAT layer of the new router and protected from access by any of the wireless machines.

One possible adjustment. If both routers have the same 192.168.x.1 base address, you'll have to adjust the secondary router's base address to a different subnet. Say x is "1" for your primary wireless router, you can make the new secondary router "2".
