Re: R36 Firmware Beta Test (was R35)
That in effect is what BT routers do but it would be a major firmware change. The "public" section needs to be tunnelled to the ISP so that the guest device can have a different IP so safeguarding you from any mischief the guest indulges in such as downloading kiddy fiddler pictures etc. etc. etc.

It won't happen anyway - last I heard of VM wide area WiFi there was some suggestion of putting hotspots on cabinets although how that could be achieved I really can't see as anything inside the cab would be screened and external would need planning permission and be subject to vandalism.
