Wireless with a Wireless Router

You have two options for this setup, each with advantages and disadvantages.

• IPCOP does DHCP
• Each client is individually allowed/disallowed to the internet
• Traffic shaping will treat each wireless user independently
• BOT will treat each wireless user independently
• Don’t have to worry about possible subnet overlap

• Each client’s MAC/IP address must be added to Blue Access

• Only have one MAC/IP address to Blue Access for internet access

• Can not control individual client access to the internet
• Traffic shaping will treat all wireless users as one
• BOT will treat all wireless users as one
• Possible subnet overlap
