APs set to different locations

Currently I've added all my APs to one location. But I'd like to have additional SSIDs on one of the APs only. This does not appear to be possible. I'm thinking it's also not recommended. Is there an alternate way to handle this that is recommended?

If I put APs in seperate locations, then they are not part of the same Topology. Is there anything lost by not haveing the APs in the same location? They all are in the same location, just on different floors. 

 

It's possible, what I actually need is not unique SSIDs per AP, but instead multiple VLANs per specific APs only?

 

Ultimately my goal is to have some devices only connect to a specific AP. 

Greatly appreciate any advice on this.

    Hi rovo,

     

    Welcome to our community! 🙂

     

     

    It is not possible to put the APs in different locations because literally, they are in the same place. APs connected to insight still work as standalone which means that you can still configure each AP with different SSIDs and VLANs.
