Hello, I am thinking about purchasing the nwa130be. I want to use a single access point to access two subnets with different IP Addresses. The nwa130be has two ports so can each port be connected to a different subnet or do I need to trunk the uplink port?

Thanks.

    Hi @scoobyscrappy

    The two ports on the NWA130BE serve different functions. One port is designated for the uplink, which connects to your backbone network, while the other is intended for LAN use only. Unfortunately, the NWA130BE does not support link aggregation.

    To better assist you, could you please provide more details about the scenario you are trying to achieve? If possible, sharing a network topology diagram would help us provide more specific guidance.

    i want to have a separate WiFi network for guest and internal. I plan to use two different ssids. Can I designate a different vlan for the two ssids and trunk these two vlans via the uplink port to a router?

    yes, but your switch needs to support VLAN traffic as well. I have the AP on a managment VLAN, and 4 user vlans on the WIFI side. Each SSID uses different IP ranges, and vlan numbers. Also, each vlan uses different protocols and protocol implementations i.e. one is WIFI 7 wap3, another wifi 5 wap2, etc.

    Thanks David. I was planning to purchase a Mikrotik CRS 2.5Gb router/switch appliance which does routing and switching.
