OT: Wireless router

[Frank Leonhardt]

Draytek kit can do things like this, but it's not cheap. There is a 
simple solution: get a wireless access point for the second wireless LAN 
and power it from a time switch. There's nothing like a physical switch 
if you want control. It has the added advantage that it will probably 
have its own DHCP server (separate sub-net), and can be on a different 
frequency. If you have a multi-SSID network running on one piece of kit 
it'll all go through a common RF stage, which means it'll all be on the 
same frequency. Back OT, you can also connect a separate access point to 
a BSD box running squid and IPFW and control access that way.

FWIW I've recently bought a few TP-Link "Wireless Range Extenders" 
(Model TL-WA830RE - Version 2). They're sold to the luser market to 
increase the range of domestic routers by acting as radio bridge, but 
flip the flag for expert mode and they become a pretty competent access 
point for not a lot of dough. (Probably running FreeBSD internally ;-) )
