MIMO router required that shares bandwidth (plus ideally splits network).

Nov 01, 2005 1 Replies

Hi there,



I want to obtain a MIMO wireless router for my broadband connection as I have weak signal in some rooms. I'm told the Belkin device is very good (better then the netgear) however I was really hoping for a router that would allow me to separate bandwidth.



I have lodgers in my house who will share bandwidth and I would like to be able to divide out the bandwidth. Also ideally I would be able to really hide my shared files from my lodgers so that only my laptop can see the files on my server (also on the same network).



Are there any routers that allow to create effectively two networks but having different IP address ranges?



Or how can I make it easy for me to access the files on my Windows server, but not my lodgers (before I just opened up shared folders, but now they are on the same network I don't want then getting the files).



Kind regards



Dave



PS: Sorry for posting this in firewalls NG as well but I thought you guys might also no this.


I don't know of a MIMO router that would do it.. but this application should do the trick...

- needs an old PC with 2 network cards and provides a public access (or closed access) hotspot - and it's free...
