3.3 How to Configure Multiple Wireless Networks

In this example, you have been using your NWA as an access point for your office
network (See your Quick Start Guide for information on how to set up your NWA in
Access Point mode). Now your network is expanding and you want to make use of
the MBSSID feature (see
networks. Each wireless network will cater for a different type of user.
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
QoS settings for Voice over IP (VoIP) users, and a guest network that allows
visitors to your office to access only the Internet and the network printer.
To do this, you will take the following steps:
Change the operating mode from Access Point to MBSSID and reactivate the
1
standard network.
Configure a wireless network for VoIP users.

Configure a wireless network for guests to your office.
