A wireless router device and a dual-AP build a wireless dual-network

The combination of Wireless AP and wireless route is essential for network construction. For an enterprise, it is possible that a wireless LAN cannot be fully covered. It is especially important to combine Wireless AP and wireless router devices. This article provides a detailed introduction to this problem.

Due to work requirements, there is now A need for both Departments A and B to connect wireless networks at the same time, but the employees of the two departments cannot access work information. Based on past experience, you can purchase two vrouters or two Wireless AP devices to build two wireless LAN devices. But is this investment necessary? The answer is no. A wireless router that supports the dual-AP function can quickly and effectively build a secure and secure wireless dual-network to ensure that the networks of the two Departments are separated.

The dual-AP function is not a dual-antenna function.

In order to facilitate wireless internet signal reception and provide efficient and unobstructed wireless signal transmission, wireless manufacturers have launched wireless router devices that support dual-antenna or multi-antenna, this device significantly improves the transmission stability and coverage of wireless signals, and its performance has been fully recognized by most wireless Internet users. Most Internet users are willing to purchase wireless router devices that support the dual-antenna function for wireless networking to ensure the stability of their wireless LAN, to cater to the consumption needs of wireless Internet users, wireless manufacturers are also happy to launch their own dual-antenna wireless router devices. Currently, almost every wireless device manufacturer in the market has its own dual-antenna wireless router product. However, this product does not support the dual-AP function, it is only used to increase the transmission capability of wireless signals. In the past, only one antenna was added. This product is mainly used to enhance the penetration capability of wireless signals, it makes wireless internet signal transmission better.

A wireless router device that supports the dual-AP function can be seen as two common wireless router devices bundled together. It can provide dual-SSID parameter settings, wireless Internet users can configure each AP function separately. Using this device, wireless Internet users can easily build two simple and economical Wireless LAN networks. Obviously, to build A wireless dual-network that meets both the Internet access requirements of Department A and the Internet access requirements of department B, you must use A wireless router that supports the dual-AP function, it is not a device that supports the dual-antenna function.

Select a suitable dual-AP Wireless Router

Because dual-AP wireless routers often need to undertake the tasks of two wireless LAN networks, in order to ensure that each wireless LAN can get a good wireless signal transmission speed, therefore, we must select an appropriate dual-AP wireless router to ensure that the device can meet the working intensity of two wireless LAN Internet users at the same time.

Considering that the main purpose of using A duap wireless router in this article is to isolate the network and ensure the security of wireless Internet access in department A, when we use A duap wireless router, first, we should choose products that support encryption settings and prevent security intrusion. This way, wireless Internet users can achieve their goal by setting simple parameters when they need to isolate two wireless LAN networks in the future.

Second, to meet high-intensity work requirements, the dual-AP wireless router's main chip should have a high degree of integration, after all, this type of main chip is cheaper, more importantly, it has a very good heat dissipation effect, and a good heat dissipation effect is an important prerequisite to ensure the stability of the wireless network; currently, many dual-AP wireless router devices use the Broadcom main chip, which can be integrated with many things, including the SDRAM Controller, USB controller, processor, and wireless Internet access module. In addition, the Broadcom main chip can stably process large-capacity data exchange information, which can also meet the high-intensity work tasks of wireless dual-network users.

Next, we should also pay attention to the amount of memory space in the active-standby wireless router. The large-capacity active-standby memory can ensure that wireless router devices can process wireless Internet signals more quickly, this ensures that the wireless LAN can have a good online transmission speed.

Use dual-AP to build a wireless dual-network

After selecting an appropriate dual-AP wireless router, it is very easy to build a wireless dual-network. We only need to connect the dual-AP wireless router device to the LAN of Department A, and then enter the background management interface of the dual-AP wireless router according to the conventional method to configure Internet connection parameters, the specific configuration method is basically the same as that for Internet access of a common wireless router.

To enable the dual-AP function of the wireless router to take effect, we must set the Internet parameters for each AP function according to the actual network conditions, you only need to find the "wireless management" option from the background management interface of the duap wireless router (this setting takes the NW618 device as an example ), under this option, we will see the "primary AP management" and "secondary AP management" sub-items. After clicking "primary AP management" to set the sub-item, on the subitem settings page, set the channel parameters, network name parameters, frequency band parameters, and mode parameters of the primary AP, and then follow the same operation method, set the Internet parameters of the secondary AP, but the network name parameters of the primary AP and secondary AP cannot be the same. Otherwise, the two constructed Wireless LAN will conflict.

Because the network names of the primary AP and the secondary AP are different, the wireless LAN connected to the two AP is actually independent of each other. We then set the security parameters of the respective LAN, this ensures that the two wireless LAN networks do not interfere with each other when accessing each other, and they can access each other securely.
