Netgear GS724T v3 Switch and Bt Business Smart Hub
I have a a BT Internet connection on my local community centre, supplied via a BT Business Smart Hub. This is connected to a Netgear GS724T v3 Smart Switch. On this switch 6 ports are for the office...
Not well informed about the UK/BT offerings and requirements I'm afraid.
I would look into a small business routers or security appliances supporting multiple LAN subnets, on multiple VLANs or at lest on multiple LAN ports. Most reasonable devices have plain Ethernet (Gigabit) WAN/Internet ports. But no idea on how the BT network can be connected, Openreach modem probably?
The VLAN capable L2 switches are fine typically.
A possible approach would be what Netgear does provide with thier Insight solution - with the simple BR500, some Insight manageable switches, distributed WAC5xx wireless access points. This would allow to configure dedicated WLAN for each connected "customer", too. Netgear would help customers and Insight Pro resellers if they would create a partner site with regional search for Insight Pro so you could buy the solution with some design and anual services from them.
Of course some "hack" solutions with a L2+ switch allowing basic IPv4 routing would be possible - either case your LAN subnet would be used as a pass-through network.
Thanks for the reply, which router is recommended for this setup then. Would you also changing the switch or not
