VLAN Configuration between Netgear and Unifi
I am reaching out in the hope that somebody can assist me with this. Trying to get more coverage in our existing office block by allowing devices to roam om diffrent AP'...

Hey,
Let me try and simplify this a bit. Some of the info you give is hard to fully follow :)
So, you have 3 SSIDs currently?
- "LSA" and "LS-Guest" SSIDs broadcasting on AP no. 1?
- "LSP" SSID broadcasting on AP no. 2?
Is that the setup?
You then want both APs to broadcast all SSIDs, to better "extend" the coverage? However, you still want to separate the traffic so you are considering VLANs - which is the correct thing to do. Do you have any VLANs setup already? If so, which SSIDs are associated with which VLAN IDs?
Cheers

Hi
So you basicaly got it right but instead of just 2 x AP's i have in total 7
4 AP's broadcasting (LSA and LS Guest) Connected to its own lan with internet/dhcp/firewall etc
3 AP's broadcasting (LSP) -- Connected to their own lan with own internet/dhcp/firewall etc
The idea is to add to 3 AP's on the LSP network to my Netgear GS749T switch and then add vlan's to my switch to make them be able to still connect to service on their side ( the 3 ap's on the LSP side use NPS to connect)
Currently i just have the default vlans on the switch plus the two i created called vlan 4 (Auto Vlan - LSA/LS Guest) and vlan 5 (Prop Vlan - LSP) , but i dont know if the vlan's are correct , because i admit when it comes to vlans i somehow alway struggle.

Hi again,
This makes more sense :)
So, let's say we have Building A and Building B.
Building A:
4 AP's broadcasting (LSA and LS Guest). Connected to its own lan with internet/dhcp/firewall etcBuilding B:
3 AP's broadcasting (LSP) -- Connected to their own lan with own internet/dhcp/firewall etcYou want to deploy 3 (NEW) APs in Building A, but broadcasting the LSP SSID. Those clients connecting to the LSP network still needs DHCP, Internet, etc from Building B. So, yes VLANs would help you here. Do you have VLANs aready setup anywhere in your network (in either "building")? It does not sounds like it?

Hi Man ,
Yes currently there is no vlan's setup this would need to be done from scratch.
