Thanks Michele. I sent the following to Frank, but forgot to include ILUG:
Unfortunately, wifi is not an option.

The modem has only one access point. However, the "Expert Mode" web
front-end on the modem has the following categories and options. I'm
hoping that the NAT section is what I'm looking for, but I can't find any
documentation on how to use it without buggering up the connection. Right
now, I don't want to open any of the systems to the internet, so pin-holes
and one-to-one mappings are not relevant at the moment.
