OK, I will try to make this clearer – although I am not sure if I can.
We have a work computer that needs to access the internet for the work VPN via Wi-Fi.
We DO NOT want or will we connect this computer on our network, NOR DO WE WANT THIS TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANYTHING on our network.
This is why we enabled the Guest Wi-Fi
We need:
- Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi to be able to access the internet.
- - This is OK – it does this.
- Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi SHOULD NOT be able to access other devices on the Guest Wi-Fi
- - This is not the case – all devices on the guest Wi-Fi can see/access other devices on our guest Wi-Fi – actually not that worried about this – it is our own network that is a concern.
- Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi SHOULD NOT be able to access our printer for example on our wired network.
- - This is not the case – all devices on the guest Wi-Fi can see/access other devices on our wired network – THIS IS AN ISSUE! WE DO NOT WANT DEVICES ON THE GUEST NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANYTHING on our own network.
- Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi SHOULD NOT be able to access the TV for example on our Wi-Fi network.
- - This is not the case – all devices on the guest Wi-Fi can see/access other devices on our normal Wi-Fi network – THIS IS AN ISSUE! WE DO NOT WANT DEVICES ON THE GUEST NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANYTHING on our own network.
- Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi SHOULD NOT be able to access our phones for example on our Wi-Fi network.
- This is not the case – all devices on the guest Wi-Fi can see/access other devices on our normal Wi-Fi network – THIS IS AN ISSUE! WE DO NOT WANT DEVICES ON THE GUEST NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANYTHING on our own network.
- Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi SHOULD NOT be able to access the SAN for example on our wired network.
- This is not the case – all devices on the guest Wi-Fi can see/access other devices on our wired network – THIS IS AN ISSUE! WE DO NOT WANT DEVICES ON THE GUEST NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANYTHING on our own network.
- Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi SHOULD NOT be able to access our main computer for example on our wired network.
- This is not the case – all devices on the guest Wi-Fi can see/access other devices on our wired network – THIS IS AN ISSUE! WE DO NOT WANT DEVICES ON THE GUEST NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANYTHING on our own network.
- In fact, as simply put in my original post: Anything connected via the guest Wi-Fi SHOULD NOT be able to access other devices on our normal networks.
- This is not the case – all devices on the guest Wi-Fi can see/access other devices on both our wired network and our normal Wi-Fi network – THIS IS AN ISSUE! WE DO NOT WANT DEVICES ON THE GUEST NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANYTHING on our own network.
I cannot pose the question any clearer than I have, if someone can phrase it any better – then please do.
The problem to me is quite simple – we don’t want anything on the guest Wi-Fi to be able to access anything that is on our normal networks, be that via Wi-Fi network, or wired network. – How do we achieve this?
Just enabling the Guest Wi-Fi as stated (and checked) by Virgin does not achieve this – anything on the Guest Wi-Fi can access EVERYTHING throughout our normal network. WHICH IS NOT WHAT WE WANT
