Recommend best business router/solution
I need to be able to handle 3 secure seporate networks on the same IP for a coffee shop. My IPS doesnt allow multiple IP's. One network needs to be for POS only, other for all of the smart devices on...
You may want to consider the network setup below:
From the network diagram above, the modem is connected to the WAN port of the BR200 firewall router. The BR200 firewall router supports VLAN. You will need to configure VLANs to segregate networks. For example: you need to separate the Private (or Admin) network from the Guest network as well as from the Staff Network. A LAN port of the BR200 firewall router is connected to a port of the GC510PP smart switch. The port of the GC510PP connected to the BR200 should be configured as a tagged port so that it will become a trunk link. Tagging the port is needed in order to identify which VLAN the packet belongs to.
The GC510PP smart switch supports VLAN and PoE+ (Power over Ethernet). One port of the GC510PP is connected to the WAX610 access point. Since the GC510PP supports PoE+, it can power on the WAX610 through its LAN/PoE+ port.
The ports connecting the GC510PP and the WAX610 should be configured as tagged ports as well because the WAX610 is a VLAN-aware device. Since the WAX610 also supports VLAN, you can assign a wireless network dedicated to the 3 VLANs: Private network, Staff network and Guest network.
Be reminded that the BR500, GC510PP and the WAX610 does not have USB ports that can function as with your Nighthawk router. The BR200 replaces your Nighthawk router.

The GC510PP clever transfer supports VLAN and PoE+ (Power over Ethernet). One port of the GC510PP is attached to the WAX610 access factor. Since the GC510PP helps PoE+, it is able to power on the WAX610 through its LAN/PoE+ port.
The ports connecting the GC510PP and the WAX610 ought to be configured as tagged ports as well because the WAX610 is a VLAN-aware device. Since the WAX610 also supports VLAN, you may assign a wi-fi network devoted to the 3 VLANs: Private community, Staff community and Guest network.
