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 NWA1121-NI 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.
