    has anyone run across a soho AP that supports the setup/config of multiple SSIDs?

    I'd like to be able to run my normal secure home wireless net as well as a more open guest wireless net using the same AP hardware.

    USR use to have this option years ago on their interprise hardware. I've seen it on others too. Real common with dual band.

    Depends on the router. If it supports DD-WRT, you can probably use this method. (Took a few reboots and bit of fiddling, but I have two working, segregated SSIDs: one WPA2 personal and the other wide open).
