Hi all,
the Omnia’s wifi coverage is worse than what I had with my previous router/ap and I will need to address it. Let’s assume the following setup:
On Omnia - having 3 wifi networks configured (this works today):
- Wifi5GHz - full access
- Wifi24GHz - full access
- Wifi24GHzGuest - restricted access to internet only
One way would probably be using wifi extender - I would have to find out if there are extenders which could extend all three networks. With wifi extender the restriction of Wif24GHzGuest would still apply. I heard that there are some limitations (like the extender itself needs to have good signal and it will always reduce the bandwidth etc.)
The other way I thought about is to have another access point with the same network SSIDs and connected to Omnia over Ethernet cable. I don’t have experience with access points so could anybody help me to understand if I would be able to configure all 3 wifi networks and keep the restriction for Wifi24GHzGuest network? Wouldn’t the AP have to support multiple vlans?
The second option would be my preferred option as I could place the AP to relatively good place where I have also Ethernet socket. However I don’t know if any AP could be configured this way.
Thanks for your insight.
