I am renting a home owned by a college and they are allowing me to use their open unsecured internet. I have two questions that are interrelated.
1) Can I configure my own router to act as a sub-network that connects to the public wifi, but uses my own credentials (sort of like my own home network). Essentially I want a secure network that I feel safe using. I'm not worried that anything will happen, but you never know. and
2) Whether or not the above is possible, can I hook my printer up online so that I can do wireless printing, but limit access to only myself?
Router is Asus RT-N66U
Printer is Brother - DCP - L2540DW
Wifi - Public (unsecured) College Wifi.
Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
