I recently had VZ FIOS installed. Along with the Verizon wireless router they installed, I also connected my linksys wireless router to the Verizon router so I can have two separate wireless networks.

When connected to my Linksys wireless, I am still able to ping and connect to the Verizon Wireless network (192.168.2.x) How would I prevent the Linksys wireless network from being able to access the network on the Verizon wireless router network (192.168.1.x)?

Just so you know, when Im connected to the Verizon wireless network, I cannot reach the Linksys network.

Thanks!

You might have 2 subnets but it's still only one network since there is only one way to the internet. I'm sure that you want internet access to all machines.

Exactly, what are you trying to prevent, access to shares?

Hi..thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to prevent systems connected to 1 wireless network from being able to see (ping, connect to etc) systems/printers on the other wireless.

Thanks.

Stopping it from connecting is easy. Don't map the drives & printers to machines on the Linksys & password protect the shares.

You can stop ping in the Windows Firewall settings, although I don't see what good it does.
