 > and why do you have wifi access with no internet access? whats the point.

Say you have a network printer you want to connect to your LAN over wifi, so
people can sent print jobs to it from their computers, but the manufacturer is
known for bullshit firmware upgrades which happen automatically over the
Internet. If you connect it to its own Network behind a firewall that denies
WLAN access to it, you will be able to use the printer withoutn risking it
calling home.

Same idea applies to NAS appliances, power inverters and other cheap chinesse
junk. You may need to connect to them from your computer, but you surely don't
need them to connect over the Internet.
