I have a Modem -- Router -(192.168.1.xx)- Access Point. I would like to connect a router to the AP and the devices on the last router will have Internet access but NOT have access to the LAN 192.168.1.xx. Can this be done and if so how? The addresses assigned by this last router can be anything but not 192.168.1.xx. This last router will have a WAN address on 192.168.1.xxx.
 
Solution
If the device you have you call a AP is actually a router run it in router mode and assign a different lan ip block. To prevent access that router would need firewall rules that allow you to block traffic going to the 192.168.1 addresses.

Be aware that you now have 2 levels of NAT so things like game consoles that use UPnP will have issues.
