Okay, got it! I think I finally understand how VLAN configuration works. The example on that link really helped! I just ordered a Netgear FVS318N. I put one of those in a previous church, and now will put one in my current church.

Thanks, JohnRo for your reply.
Is it necessary for the main network computers and Guest connected computers to have VLAN capabilities also?

Hi DonD,
Most of the computers these days are already VLAN unaware so there's no need to worry much about the devices connecting. Yes, you have that option as well but Layer 3 switches are a bit expensive (could be more expensive than a VLAN router).
Also, here's an example of creating multiple VLAN configuration that you may use as a guide.
Thanks,
Okay on that. You mentioned an attachment that I don't think you attached.
