Re: Wireless Router
If you go for something like the Linksys WRT54G then it will certainly do what you want it to.
It's a wireless router as well.
You can control be MAC address, IP address, IP address range, restrict web access by keywords in URLs, restrict access to certain specific sites, restrict access by time of day or day of week..... The list goes on
Ok, I'm looking for recommendations then on a wireless router (with wired connections too) - most likely with an adsl modem in it - (I think the current modem they have only has a usb connection on it - could be wrong though) - as well as an wireless access point - ideally same make - so the chances of it working will be increased...

any thoughts? (links appreciated)
Don't get confused by the terminology. I did and it cost me when I started to buy the wrong stuff. Why do you need a Wireless Access Point if you have a Wireless Router?

..because I'm looking to connect up what is at the moment 2 seperate small networks ... and need the access point to give 'net access to the network in a training room
Ah OK, I understand now. I sort of did something similar, my network setup is detailed in the attachment to this post: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...9&postcount=11
(forum wont let me upload the same thing twice.
Note I found the access point DID NOT WORK when used in place of the bridge. Seemed odd that, but no doubt some tech bod can explain why. The bridge did work, of course if your network will pass a lot of files you want the WET54G .11g bridge not the .11b one I used. edit : I see linksys now do a .11g bridge with 5 port switch combined WET54GS5
