Hey Folks,

I am using a Westell 7500 Modem/Router. I would like to be able to configure it so that a single user can access my Wi-Fi, but they won't be able to access my Routers configuration, plus I would like the ability to block them should the need arise.. I know the easy way to just to provide them my WEP security key, but this won't let me limit them at all, at least from my limited understanding..

So what would you suggest" Thanks!

Gunny

First you should not make the administration password the same as your encryption keys.

Limiting them with WEP is a big joke a 12 year old can run the tools to crack you key in a few seconds. You want to use wpa or wpa2.

Still you should use a router that allows you to setup multiple SSID that way you can give him his own password/key that only he has.
