We have a secure Wireless network using wep and mac filtering. My Boss wants clients to have access to internet
fropm our office without having to add their mac address and enter a code on their end. Is there a good procedure
for adding a WAP for internet only? I dont want this WAP to giver access to anything except my router going out.
I would like it to disk out its own DHCP in a completely different network but still give the users Internet access
Is there a whitepaper or howto>/??

If you knew enough to get the network setup like it is already then you ought to know how to do this. If not, call (and pay) the people that set it up. Get this wrong and you run the risk of compromising the network security quite badly.

Nice attitude. We come here for help, not to hear that we should
already know how or to go hire someone. Grrrr!!!

I have the same problem. Westell 327w dsl modem on home network.
I'd like a separate unsecured network with internet access, but no
access to the primary network. I need 20 foot range. I have several
consumer-grade access points and routers. Can't figure how to set it up.

No, I don't want a lecture that I shouldn't. I want a tutorial on HOW.

Thanks, mike

You don't describe the coverage area needed. If it's just one room or small area then one access point might cover it. But if it's a multi-room, several floors or multiple buildings then it gets CONSIDERABLY more complex. Which is it?

That's the first question. After that a whole bunch of others follow. Mostly concerning the existing internet connection and type of firewall being used.
