My small business is using a crappy linksys home router for everything right now and the LAN is set up as a typical c class network (192.168.x.x).
I'd like, however, to set up another network of computers that piggybacks off the same internet connection, but does not have access to the other computers already on the network.
I'm thinking that I could just buy any router, plug the WAN port into the current network, give it the other router's IP for the gateway, and set up it's LAN to have a different subnet mask and use something like 10.10.x.x so that it can act as the gateway for the rest of the computers.
A couple of questions.
1) Is this going to work as I have it planned?
2) If I do it ths way, will the users on the new sub network still be able to access the computers and equipment on the network above it? (my hope is that they won't)
3) If I need a fancier router to do this than a normal cable/dsl router, then will one like this work? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16833124091
Thanks!
