adding WiFi to office LAN

by techserf . Updated 21 years, 7 months ago

A smaller office client of mine would like to add wireless to their LAN. They have about 15 desktops and a 2000 DController. They would like to be able to have wireless for their staff (only a few people), but also have it open for roaming people that come in, such as presenters, sales reps from outside etc, to have web access.

My obvious concern is making this access secure as possible, and preventing anyone on the street from accessing their business data and internet connection.

Do any of you have suggestions on access points and how to best set this up? I’ve seen some promising things from Sonic Wall, where it will let you force VPN access from the staff and then allow guest ‘web only’ service, but if there’s something better out there, please post a link, or whatever you’ve got.

Thanks
