No. If they're in the same pool (block) of addresses,and in teh same VLAN, then they're on the same network.

Since it is acting (at its highest level) as a bridge, the AP doesn't care about IP addresses or subnets.

If you put 'em in separate VLANs, on separate SSIDs, then it's like running on two separate systems.

The issue is, where are you terminating the VLANs? If they're on the same routers at each end the routers will not route to the same network block ...

You'd need do do some interesting NATing to get it to work.

Pretty kludgey all the way around.

Good Luck

so, if i use a different block of addresses like 192.168.0.X and 10.x.x.x on each ap and between the link each with a different SSID on each,

would that do the trick or would i need two seperate routers

thanks
