I have an office wired lan with 24 port hub connected to a 4 port cayman router. I want to offer WiFi for guests to our facility. However, I do NOT want them to have access to our lan. How can I do this without compromising our network?

You can't unless the router supports not bridging to the lan. My netgears have a checkbox for this and if unchecked the wifi is a lan to internet unto itself.
