RV016 with two wireless APs

[florianmoser]

Hi there,

a few weeks ago we started with a RV016 to balance our traffic to the outside.

Now we like to let some wireless clients to access the network.

There should be a wireless network for guests and a "normal" one for co-workers. Both with different subnets.

Is there a best pratice to implement somethine like that?

Which access points are easy to setup / maintain and give us a proper solution?

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards.

Florian

Dear Florian,

Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.

I would personally suggest you the Cisco WAP321 access point, among the things I like the most are;

-  WLAN 802.11n

-  Wireless isolation between clients

-  8 Multiple SSIDs

-  Up to 32 connective users, 20 active users

-  SSID to VLAN mapping

-  An affordable price

It is perfect for connecting up to 20 employees on a single WAP321. With Single Point Setup, the wireless LAN can scale up to a total of eight WAP321 devices to provide broader coverage and to support additional users as business needs change. For more details about it below is a link with its datasheet;

Please let me know if there is anything else I may assist you with.

Kind regards,

I have two Cisco WAP321 AP's and a Cisco RV016 Router. 

I use the RV016 as the DHCP server for the network. 

I would like to use the guest SSID mapped to a VLAN.  How do I setup the RV016 to route traffic from both the guest VLAN and the internal VLAN to the internet while still using it as a DHCP server.

I think this would be possible using the vlan by port feature.  Set up a vlan2 for the guest access port and connect it.  Set up vlan3 for one of the other ports and connect the rest of the network there.  I think both would be able to route to the Internet without seeing each other.

One easy way to do this is to simply get two standard access points and connect them to two different vlans.
