IF you split after the firewall, you must take precautions (or invest in sometimes expensive equipment) to ensure that traffic can't unwittingly flow between your guest network and your enterprise network. Now.. I know you. You're smart enough and good enough to do that. Moreover, you've got the resources (not to mention, you're not what I would think of as a "small nonprofit"). Your needs and your infrastructure are pretty damn complicated (and impressive). And, just between you and me, since we also run a semi-public facility, we actually set up three networks: One for Us, One for Guests (scanned and safe and filtered but still isolated) and one for the unwashed masses. gavin Hi Henry,

We have found that splitting our Internet connection into a Guest and a protected network behind the firewall, allows us to scan the traffic, filter sites and control the traffic through the firewall. With the new 802.11n access points, we are getting much better speed and coverage. Go back to Germany...I liked that story. You lost me after the French Fries.
