Hello Community,

I'm new with Unifi devices. I have a TP-Link 300M Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router, Model No. TD-W8960N and i want to buy a Unifi AP. I want to create 2 wireless networks with 2 different SSIDs (one private for workplace and one guest ), also i want to limit bandwidth for each wireless network.
Can my TP-Link modem/router supports a Unifi AP for this situation?
I have read that a Unifi AP doesnt have built-in DHCP server, so can my modem/router does the job?
Feel free to suggest me other APs that can do my job!
Thank you!
 
Solution
Yes a Ubiquiti ap will work fine. It can not do your bandwidth controls but Ubiquiti Edge router can. It is easy to set up. I wold get just the dual band one unless you have any AC devices.
