I have a Netgear router which specifically offers a "guest" WiFi network.This effectively separates your lodgers from your own computers and thus stops any unwanted snooping .

What I am not sure about is if the firewall and URL blocking functions which the router also offers can be configured differently for guest and main users (any guests of mine may be upset to find that they cannot use Tw@tter or Facebook).
That really depends upon the functionality of the specific router in question.
