I’m most curious about your proprietary router! How do you isolate wi-fi traffic from your LAN, but still allow access to the Internet? If you ssh to your headless box from a laptop do you have to go out through the router, around the Internet, and then back in through the firewall to get there, or is there some secret trick to allowing certain pass-through from wi-fi to LAN?

It would be nice to open up a wi-fi again, just to be a good citizen for passers by, but without giving my neighbors full access to my NFS shares!
