    So I attached a picture that is supposed to describe my network dilemma of course not 2 scale. I want to create 2 separate wifi networks in the house. I have listed the devices I have. A Motorola cable modem with built in wireless, a DLink dir-615, and a Linksys WGA54G gaming access point. My modem is in one room and only has one lan port that goes to my PS3. Then the WiFi goes through the house. I want to pull in the wifi with my gaming access point and then run it into the WAN port on my DLink to create a separate network for my "don't let the kids see files". I could always just not share the files on the office computer or password protect the files, but I like my idea better. Any other ideas are welcome, but really don't want to invest in any more equipment. Thanks
