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 priority QoS settings for Voice over IP (VoIP) users, and a guest network that allows visitors to access only the Internet and the network printer.

To do this, you will take the following steps:

1Edit the SSID profiles.

2Change the operating mode from Root AP to MBSSID and reactivate the standard network.

3Configure different security modes for the networks.

4Configure a wireless network for standard office use.

5Configure a wireless network for VoIP users.

6Configure a wireless network for guests to your office.

The following figure shows the multiple networks you want to set up. Your NWA is marked Z, the main network router is marked A, and your network printer is marked B.

The standard network (SSID01) has access to all resources. The VoIP network (VoIP_SSID) has access to all resources and a high QoS priority. The guest network (Guest_SSID) has access to the Internet and the network printer only, and a low QoS priority.
