WAC510 Guest Network
I have 2 WAC510 and 1 WAC505 access-point.
The switches I have are Netgear switches and the router is also from Netgear.
I want to create a guest network. I know that I have to create seperate VLAN on switch and access-points.
But do I have to create the VLAN on the router also?
Hi hagepat,
Welcome to the community! :)

Yes, so that router will be the DHCP server for the Guest network. However, if the switch has a function to create a DHCP Pool for the Guest network then configure a DHCP Pool in the switch.
