promised guy next door to work I'll let him use my internet - save him getting a phone line in
he's out of range of wifi, I can run a cable to him, or a cable to a wifi access point
thing is, I don;t really want him / anyone he lets on his pc/wifi have access to my PCs over the network, plus cctv is on the same network
any clever tricks / easy ways I can lat him use my internet without compromising my security ?

Cheapest way would be software firewalls on *everything* using a VPN so comms is encrypted?
Going back a long way to remember this so there might be a better option.

Get DD-WRT http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index compatible router & look at the vlan tutorials (there is a search function to see if your current router is supported)
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorials (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorials)
alternatively, maybe a router that has guess wifi capabilities & setup the AP to connect to the guess wifi & he connects to the AP

ordered two compatible routers
I'll swap my wifi over to one of those too (lads working for me use it)
two of them means I can boost the range at the same time
thanks :-)

I hate messing with firewall etc.. always makes a pig of the cctv setup :-(
