Network gurus, can you help segment LAN using router?

by kratasek . Updated 14 years, 9 months ago

Folks, after many years abroad I came home and this is what I see. An antenna on the roof, ethernet cable from the antenna to a RJ-45 coupling, plugged into an electrical outlet, ethernet cable from the coupling to a 8-port switch. I’m guessing I have a microwave connection to my ISP, the “powered” coupling is a home made PoE injector powering the antenna and the whole setup is part of my ISP’s local network. Like my house was just another room in their building. All of my equipment is getting IP 192.168.1.xxx after plugging into the switch. I have a lot of personal stuff on my network, several NAS device and so on and I assume the ISP can easily see all of it..
I want to completely separate my home network from my ISP’s and add wireless. I have a Linksys WRT610N router. Can this be done? Can someone please advise me as to how?
