Does it have a feature that supports management with accounts, fixed IP, VLAN ?

[ndangtung]

I'm not quite familiar with those advanced features if it does exist as the fact that i've been primarily using cheap and unknown AP products for years :D I'm planning on upgrading my APs for personal reasons. Could anyone tell me does it have a feature that likely supports management with accounts, fixed IP, VLAN? What is it called and which product could fit my needs?

Thanks.

Thank you for the question. Currently all of our Small Business Wireless Access Points support Management accounts, fixed ip's and vlans.

Here is a link for some model comparisons.

Excuse me, so what is that feature called? My case is as simple as if i have around 200 users at a time and i want to seperate them into several VLANs with account-login required, which product could you suggest for me?

Yours sincerely.

My apologies, I thought you were asking which access points could support management with accounts, fixed IPs and VLANs. 

With the WAP 300 and 500 series access points, you would use Captive Portal. This would allow you to separate groups of users into separate vlans for access. You could base the access on Radius Authentication which would require each user to login via an account setup on a Radius server. You could further limit who gets on with what by adding the MAC addresses of the PC's that you want to allow to get on the wireless Access Point.

I hope this is a little more to the point of what you were asking.
