Suggestions for guest wifi Internet access? was created by allat39

Hi.
We have two groups of people : Staff and Guests.
Staff need access to everything e.g. printers, network, internet
Guests usually just need access to internet.
So far, a guest is treated like staff,so at the moment everything is on STRICT BINDING with Wifi ACCESS CONTROL turned on.

It seems that 9/10 guests want to simply connect by Wifi, and therefore I am looking at finding a simple LOW MANAGEMENT method so the administration does not involve access to the router, and preferably everything can be cleared out each few months.

I would welcome any comments about how other users have managed this question. I'm sure I'm not the first.


Thanks

Create two VLANs; one main, one guest.

Create two SSIDs; one main, one guest.

Put the appropriate ports and SSIDs on the appropriate VLANs.

Thank you Takeo!

I now have some reading up to do on VLAN's! :-)
