Modem, router, switch then an Acces Point (AP)

[Mohamed_Hidara]

Hi

I know that the AP wil let dhcp request go through.

But if I connect a switch to a router and from that switch I will connect a AP. Will this work without any problem?

Goal is to have in the roomoffice the possibility to go on the internet with wifi and with cable (as there is interference of fake walls with metal, aluminium in it).

Probably every roomoffice will need an AP.

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.

I know that in most all setups with Small Business Devices this works with no issue. The thing to think about is how is the Router and Switch setup. Are there any VLANs or ACLs to consider?

With a normal out of the box setup there should be no issues at all.

What type of equipment do you have?

Thanks

Yes.  This is a typical wireless networking scenario.  It's no rocket science.  It'll work.
