Do you currently have a VPN solution? If so, you could just put the WAPs 
outside your corporate LAN, and make users VPN in to access internal resources. 
Otherwise, just provide internet access (or whatever) to users that connect to 
the WAP.

Then, you don't really need any extra equipment.

Subject: Protecting LAN access from Wireless Access points

Hi,

I currently have two wireless access points that provide wireless access to the 
corporate LAN in two meeting rooms. To satisfy PCI compliance, I need to 
install a firewall between each access point and the LAN and only allow traffic 
from our corporate IP range through to the LAN.

Has anyone done this before, and can you recommend any firewalls that will do 
the job?  I have installed Smoothwall onto a PC and played around with it but 
I'm not sure if it's the best solution for what I need.

Thanks,
Mark
