I would like to see multiple logical networks with different security settings so that i can share my wifi box between
1) me, admin
2) my truested friends, internet plus my severs
3) untrusted annonymous guests, only internet
This would probably involve multiple SSIDs, multiple firewalls, traffic priority and limits etc.
I am amaised that this kind of functionality isnt available to the consumer yet cos it doesnt add much complexity. It will help to make wifi internet available *for free* everywhere because users will be able to share without risking security,being overloaded etc.
