pfSense Box with two NICs (wan and lan)<br />
one ADSL modem (pppoe)<br />
one unmanaged DELL PowerConnect switch<br />
two wireless routers<br />
4 PCs (wired)<br />
3 Laptops (wireless)</p>
<p dir="auto">Setup:<br />
Need to have two networks independent of eachother<br />
|-&gt; one network will be for home use, one network will be for public wireless</p>
<p dir="auto">how would I go about setting this up?</p>
<p dir="auto">Would it be easier to just buy another NIC?</p>

Otherwise, even if the logically "should" not be able to communicate, theres always the chance something spills over.</p>
<p dir="auto">Otherwise you could add an IP to the LAN interface as described here: http://doc.pfsense.org/multiple-subnets-one-interface-pfsense.pdf<br />
Set the wirelessrouter into routing mode and have to wirelessrouter doing the DHCP.<br />
Create a static route pointing to the IP of the wirelessrouter for the subnet behind the wireless router.</p>
<p dir="auto">Physically this leads to such a setup:</p>
<p dir="auto">[192.168.0.1/24]<br />
pfSense–-----------------switch------office-clients [192.168.0.0/24]<br />
[172.16.0.1/24]                    |<br />
                                         |<br />
                               [172.16.0.2/24]<br />
                                        AP<br />
                               [172.31.0.1/24]<br />
                                         |<br />
                                         |<br />
                                private-clients<br />
                               [172.31.0.0/24]</p>
<p dir="auto">Logically its like this:</p>
<p dir="auto">[192.168.0.1/24]<br />
pfSense–---------------------- office-clients [192.168.0.0/24]<br />
[172.16.0.1/24]               <br />
                                      <br />
                                        \–-- [172.16.0.2/24] router [172.31.0.1/24] –-------private-clients [172.31.0.0/24]</p>
<p dir="auto">However this is NOT A GOOD WAY TO SET A SEPARATION BETWEEN TWO NETWORKS up.<br />
And a second NIC is easier too ;)</p>
