kudos:4 | If the AP, switch and WatchGuard support VLANs (AP puts the guest SSID on a separate VLAN), this would be simple to do and is the preferred method for doing this. |

I see you have a watchguard appliance in your diagram. I went to their website and they have models available that include wifi and guest access. If you haven't already purchased your watchguard that might be something to consider. |

Only the Watchguard currently supports VLAN's, so that solution won't likely meet the budget.  It seems that stepping up to that level of functionality raises the price considerably. (Unless there are low-budget switches and AP's with VLAN capability).

This may be the way to go. I had looked at the wireless Watchguard boxes, but was leaning towards an AP that could be more easily relocated to maximize wireless coverage. This may be the best solution, given the budget, and I could add a cheap AP at the other end of the office if the signal is too weak. |
