Multiple SSIDs with WAC120?
I'm setting up a wireless network for a small business. I have two separate wired VLANs, one for the retail/sales side and one for operations. I would like separate wireless SSIDs both both as well as possibly a guest SSID. Is this something I can do with the WAC120? I saw that it supports VLANs, but I don't see a way to create multiple SSIDs, just a way to assign the single SSID (well, 2, one for each band) to a particular VLAN.
Hello sparkyb,
Welcome to the community!
The WAC120 does not have the ability to broadcast multiple SSID. Yes, the WAC120 has the ability to connect to an 802.1Q VLAN but can only allow one VLAN to be configured as an untagged VLAN. My suggestion is to get a WNDAP360 instead of a WAC120.
If you have more questions, the community is happy to answer.
Thanks,
