Re: Using two routers for securtity without double NAT
Why not just get the ZyWALL 5, which has a DMZ interface with which to have a private LAN and a Public LAN. |

| I agree that a Zywall five is a better solution if you need most of its features. However, a Z5 costs almost $400 dollars and is overkill if all you want to do is protect a wired home network from wireless intruders. Also, the Z5 doesn’t have a DHCP server for the DMZ and wireless costs extra. The purpose of my post is to explain how to set up a DMZ using relatively inexpensive equiptment (less than $125 if you use two P334WTs).

Re: Using two routers for secur without double NAT
I would hate to put the wireless client in a DMZ without even simple NAT protection from the internet. I think the Idea of separate IP address and XP firewall with Blocked Ips to local LAN to be the simplest solution. |

| DMZ on a Zywall5 is/can be totally different than any home routers DMZ. You can set firewall rules to allow or not allow all kinds of stuff. DMZ on most if not all home router is like placing the PC/s connected to it on the NET. Not so with the Z5 or it can be. It's all how you set it up.
