4.2How to Configure Multiple Wireless Networks
In this example, you have been using your ZyXEL Device as an access point for your office network (See your Quick Start Guide for information on how to set up your ZyXEL Device in Access Point mode). Now your network is expanding and you want to make use of the MBSSID feature (see Section 8.1 on page 115) to provide multiple wireless networks. Each wireless network will cater for a different type of user.
You want to make three wireless networks: one standard office wireless network with all the same settings you already have, another wireless network with high Quality of Service (QoS) settings for Voice over IP users, and a guest network that allows visitors to your office to access only the Internet and the network printer.
To do this, you will take the following steps:
1Change the operating mode from Access Point to MBSSID and reactivate the standard network.
2Configure a wireless network for Voice over IP users.
3Configure a wireless network for guests to your office.
The following figure shows the multiple networks you want to set up. Your ZyXEL Device is marked Z, the main network router is marked A, and your network printer is marked B.
