Different SSIDs with IP Networks on WAX210

Hi, I'm new here on this forum and not sure if someone else asked for this issue. I tried to configure my Netgear WAX210 with 3 SSIDs and configured an individual VLAN ID for these SSIDs, but I can't find an possibility to configure an IP Range (DHCP) for the individual SSId or network? Isn't it possible at all for this produkt?

  • Like all SMB and Business Wireless VLAN capable access points, some additional infrastructure to handle multiple VLANs and IP subnetwork is required. For example a multi-VLAN capable router, dealing e.g. as a DHCP server and NAT gateway for the additional IP subnets.

      Hi Kurt, thanks for your response and I agree to your statement. Unfortunately I can't find any hint for a proper configuration on WAX210 for doing it. I'm looking for an menu on WAX210 to config the following setup on one AP:

      SSID1: VLAN 10, IP Range on DHCP 10.10.10.x

      SSID2: VLAN 20, IP Range on DHCP 10.10.20.x

      SSID3: VLAN 30, IP Range on DHCP 10.10.30.x

       

      ...

        These WAX210 (or any WAX2xx, WAX6xx, WBE7xx) are not routers, just pure APs. IP subnets and the related DHCP services are functions for routers or security appliances.
