From: Anti-Spam on 3 Aug 2010 09:55 My neighbour would like to hook up to my internet connection on a fairly infrequent basis. He only live here in the summer months. His computer is full of pop-ups, toolbars etc etc where he does not really know what he is doing or downloading. Last year I ran an ethernet cable into his place and hooked him up with a wired connection to my previous adsl modem/wireless router. I am also connected via an ethernet connection. It may have been coincidental, but for the first time in a very long while, my PC got infected (I am running Norton Internet Security 2010) soon after hooking him up, and I lost more stuff than I want to remember. At the moment I disconnect my ethernet connection when I go out to work, and hook his one up. Although this works, I would prefer to put some sort of Isolating hardware between him and me, so we can both be connected at the same time. I have since replaced the adsl modem/wireless router for a Belkin F5D7634-4 V2, but as far as I can tell, this router, does not support VLAN. Can anybody please offer a solution to this problem, thanks.

For complete isolation (both directions): Have your neighbor buy two cheap routers and give them to you. Put your own network on new router A. Put the neighbor on new router B Connect both new routers to the Belkin. <http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Wi-Fi_How_To#Isolate_Two_Networks> p.s.
