I have a buddy who is the campus minister at the Christ on Campus at a local university. Since I work in IT (as a developer), he asked if I could help him out with his network. Here is what he wants...

On the wireless network here are my goals:
1. Set up a network between office computers and printers, etc. (for file sharing, and other features).
2. Set up a separate "guest" network, for students to log onto.
3. Make sure the entire house has good coverage (probably just need an antenna for this)
4. Set up a Login page for students logging into the wireless network. A way for students to know whose wireless they are on, and to have a disclaimer about use of the internet.

Numbers 1 and 3 seem fairly straight forward. I'm not sure how to go about 2 and 4 without doing some research.

Anyone have any advice/suggestions to do this as cheap as possible?

2 is easy also if you use MAC access controls on 1 router and open access on another. Use WPA as a minimum for your security on the private router. Make your Guest network in front of the firewall in the DMZ.

This sounds like it came straight from a CCNP test question.
