4.2 How to Configure Multiple Wireless Networks
In this example, you have been using your NWA as an access point for your office network (See
your Quick Start Guide for information on how to set up your NWA in Access Point mode). Now your
network is expanding and you want to make use of the Multi-SSID feature (see
) to provide multiple wireless networks. Each wireless network will cater to a different type of
user.
You want to make three wireless networks: one standard office wireless network with all the same
settings you already have, another wireless network with high priority QoS settings for Voice over
IP (VoIP) users, and a guest network that prevents visitors in this network from communicating
with one another.
To do this, you will take the following steps:
1
Edit the SSID profiles.
2
Change the operating mode from
Access Point
to
Multi SSID
and reactivate the standard
network.
3
Configure different security modes for the networks.
4
Configure a wireless network for standard office use.
5
Configure a wireless network for VoIP users.
6
Configure a wireless network for guests to your office.
The following figure shows the multiple networks you want to set up. Your NWA is marked
