Re: Looking For a Router

Does anyone know of a consumer-level router that allows you to create two

internet for his renters and we would like to hinder the possibility of
hacking and viruses in his computers from his renters.

How about just using two (or more) cheap routers (RAIR?) ... one router
would be the main router ... directly connected to the broadband
connection. Another router would be connected to the main router, and
get it's IP via DHCP (from the main router). That would create multiple
separate networks (even if they use the same IP space).

Your dad's renters could opt to use direct connection to the router
(with a software firewall) or get their own routers.
