I am fairly new to setting up networks and have managed to coble something together that works but now want make it a bit better.
I share my internet connection with my neighbours due to the location we live in we can only get 1 connection.
I have setup a wireless bridge from my neighbours connection (A) to my network using a pair of D'link DWL2100AP, that I will call (B) and (C).
That is then connected to (D) a Netgear DG934G acting as a wireless access point and a wired switch that I use to connect all my home devices to.
The question that I need help with is that whilst I have all the PC's on my network able to connect to the internet it is open to anyone on the main network to be able to connect to it, I think this is the case as the DHCP is done by switch (A) . As I have a NAS drive on this network I dont want it visible to anyone. Is there any way I can make a private network and then just show my switch (D) on the main network?
I have essentially just extended network (A) but what I want to do is build a separate network and then just connect them through some kind of gateway that acts like a firewall/access control.
I dont know if this can be done with the hardware that I have but if not then what do I need?
