I use a sofware box from CheckPoint that can do small business or home user type stuff with the hotelling type access available. Not sure the price range you're looking at though so it may be a bit higher than you want to spend.

Vistors can cable in or use the wifi from the router and they never smell our local network. -troy -----Original Message----- From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2009 6:00 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Wireless access for visitors Hi Folks: I'm looking for a basic wireless device that can provide secure connections for internal users (via key or some sort of authentication) but also provide a "hotel-style" access for our visitors. I just need two, one for each of our large conference rooms in one of our buildings. I picked up a Belkin wireless device and it is supposed to do that. However the management interface is very weak, and the "hotel-syle" really isn't, since those users can still access internal resources once they enter the assigned password. We are a 3COM shop and I'm sure 3COM has something (that isn't cheap). Recommendations?
