Three Extreme routers - two separate networks?
Hi: I'm wondering if anyone has had success creating two totally separate home networks using three Airport Extreme (AE) routers. I want two separate networks (NetA and NetB) for security reasons, and I need both wired and wireless connections on each network. The goal is to ensure that devices on NetA cannot see or access devices on NetB, and vice versa.
I was hoping to "cascade" the routers as follows:
- the primary AE would connect to my ISP modem
- the secondary AEs (NetA and NetB) would connect to the primary AE
The primary AE would not create a wireless network, and it would have only two downstream devices connected to it via Ethernet. Those devices would be the AE routers for NetA and NetB.
I am not a networking expert (that's probably obvious) and I would like to know two things:
1. Is this even possible?, and
2. If it is possible, how would I configure each AE to accomplish my goal?
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks,
