Hi,
I have recently upgraded CCTV system in my cafe and I have switched (partially for now) from analog cameras to IP cameras. After some thinking I came to a conclusion that I should look deeper into the security of my network. But let's start from the beginning.
For years I have been using an old Linksys WRT54GL router that a free hotspot company once gave my and after a year or two the company had been shut and they left me the router. This Linksys router used to have some alternative firmware with their captive portal but I have replaced it with a stock factory firmware.
I also own two other routers, one is Asus WL-500gp v2 and another is Tp-Link TL-WR740N.
Like I wrote before I have swithed from analog cameras to IP cameras and currently I have 6 analog and 2 IP cameras, all connected to the DVR - IP cameras are connected through a Tp-Link TL-SG2210P PoE switch.
What I would like to achieve is to secure my CCTV network an isolate it from my free WiFi hotspot that I am offering to my clients. As far as I know Asus is the most powerful of all my routers. Would it be capable of dealing with two SSIDs (one guest WiFi and one for my personal use) that I would like to separate (probably using VLAN). Moreover I would like to still be able to watch my cameras over the Internet just like I can now.
This is how my network looks like right now:

Should I look for something more powerful that my Asus or maybe it would handle my setup after I install another firmware?
Thanks!
