You could even use a router that is compatible with one of the many VPN providers, so that guest traffic is tunnelled across your home network and breaks out to the Internet at the VPN provider - no chance of accessing your network and separate liability from rogue guest users.

In reply to a post by busterboy:

Surely a router like I have ASUS RT-AX88U or similar and setup the "Guest Network" with it's own password is that not secure enough.

Not here to argue but thought it was a simple solution.

There are some Asus models where the guest network is not isolated from the the LAN which I believe Asus are working on in beta firmware. Not sure if the AX88U is one of those but worth bearing in mind this bug.

Many Thanks for replies

The Coffee Shop is a stand alone business with its own utilities for the reasons described in posts

It has its own pole and underground line up drive and trying to work out why Openreach can't fit fibre
Not enough connectors on the main village pole makes sense. Do we have to wait until Openreach make more connectors available ? and how do we find out how long that will take?
TQ

Convert your BT residential services to business and the hub will have a Guest Portal ... That will get over a lot of issues and with the added benefit that it becomes a business expense.

To my knowledge.

There’s not a guarantee they would do it anytime soon, what are the speeds quoted for FTTC services? If they’re acceptable eg shows speeds of 35Mbps then there’s technically no need to fibre you up in their view... They could come back with the idea of just run a copper line and run fibre to the cabinet services. If speeds are very poor without the fibre to the home, you have more of a push for them to do something about it.

Others know more of the internal workings of openreach and should be able to confirm if I’ve got anything wrong. To my knowledge there’s no mandate that they must update things to give one premises fibre.
