Hello,
I'm trying to setup a network for a hotel installation, where the desire is to have 1 seamless network for guests accross a large area -- multiple APs required), and a physical network for our internal PCs, which require access to a server that's connected in the basement. Our ability to add new wiring is quite limited.
Our current network layout consists of the following:
Cable modem providing internet access. A dlink 850 router connected to that, acting as our DHCP server.
There is a ~20 port switch attached to that dlink router, which distributes the ethernet throughout the property.
In many of our public areas, we have dlink 650 routers setup as access points (all on the 192.168.1.X subnet), as many of these areas also require an internal PC to be connected to the network.
I was wondering if there's any way to configure it so that our wifi clients are all served a different network, but that the primary router acts as the DHCP server, enabling users to walk around the property, picking up the strongest network; or what is the best way to create some level of security between guest and internal computers?
