Fixed & WIFI Linksys Routers

Hello all.

Please do you have any suggestions.

I have a BEFSR41 which is my connection to my broadband. It has 3 wired
connections off to PC's. I have also purchased a BEFW11S4 v4 wireless AP /
DSL Router. This is used purely for WIFI access.

My BEFW11S4 is connected from the internet (WAN) connection to the uplink
connection on my BEFSR41. All works OK but I would like to restrict access
on the port connected to the wireless to internet only. How do I do this on
my BEFSR41. (Example All traffic from wireless can only go to the WAN on
the BEFSR41).

The BEFW11S4 may have settings in the Filters section (the BEFSR41 does)
to set a range of IPs as Private. Assuming that clients connected
wirelessly are on the same IP Mask (192.168.1.x for example), then you can
set your LAN IP range in the *W11S4 to have your LAN private. This should
tell the wireless router that it cannot access those IPs. Use whatever
range you have in your *SR41's DHCP settings.

This article may be of interest to you. It's about combining a wired NAT
device with a wireless NAT device, which is similar to what you are doing.
