Especially because this is for guest access you're providing as a courtesy,
I'd just get a donated wireless router, or pick up a "free after rebate" or
otherwise very low price wireless router from whoever's got the best deal in
your Sunday paper. Keep your main device for your internal users only.

Running SBS 2003 Premium SP2, ISA 2004, SQl, Exchange, WSUS, 2 NICs
and a router, managed switch that is 802.11q capable (can do VLAN's),
5 AP's - 802.1q capable (same brand as switch), Symantec Corp. A/V and
Backup Exec 11d.
============================
I need everyone's help/guidance/comments/recommendations on this
issue. It's one I've been working on for 2 months now. I've had
lot's of pervious help on previous posts, but it got harder than it
had to be (my opinion) and so I decided to start from scratch.
My goal: Wireless LAN (WLAN) with 2 SSID's - one to tie domain users
and computers to the wired LAN, and the other so that visitors and
contractors can access the internet ONLY.
Add'l info: Security is not a huge issue; we are in a rural area 7
miles from the nearest town and 1 mile from the nearest house. We are
so far off the "beaten path" we can't get landline internet - we use
satellite. we are at the end of a road 1.5 miles off the main road.
Lot's of tree's to the north and south. Anyone who comes here is
invited; no tourists or drive-bys. During our busy season (now) we
have 20 people living on-site in our houses and bunk house while they
do research or assist the reasearchers. Most bring their laptops for
off-time use.
I' ve looked hard at the MS white paper on securing wireless in a SBS
environment, and also Owen William's paper on this, too. Spent most
of yesterday implementing his steps, but made a big mistake -- I must
have entered the wrong secret word for RADIUS on the switch and now
can't access it at all. Had to take an old unmanaged switch of my
junk pile and put it into service last night so the wired clients
would have LAN and internet access. After a lot of thought last
night, I'm convinced that I just don't need to implement such a secure
wireless environment. I just need to keep those off-hour folks out of
the server.
I'm sure the solution is staring me in the face -- probabaly involves
ISA and a special user group --, but I'd like your thoughts.
Many(!) thanks in advance!
