My G1100 is in the basement and its WiFi (including Guest network) covers this area nicely. But, it’s in a closet under some duct work so coverage to other parts of the house is kind of spotty. So, I have a wireless access point upstairs that’s hardwired to the G1100 (1GbE). It does a good job of covering the whole house and even out to the pool.
Now, I’d like to do the same thing with the Guest network using another wireless access point. I think the way to do this (if possible) would be to put one of the G1100’s LAN ports in its own VLAN and hard wire the Guest wireless access point to that. The rest of the LAN ports, and the WiFi would be on a different VLAN. The broadband connection would be on both VLANs. I’m thinking this would provide the Guest wireless access point with Internet access only and isolate it from the rest of my network.
So, is this possible with the G1100? Has anyone been able to make it work?
Thanks.
