Today I have a single 2.4Ghz SSID and a single 5Ghz SSID, both originating from a Netgear WNDR3700. This device also supports Guest SSIDs on both radios, with or without allowing LAN access.
I've grown from half a dozen wireless devices over the past few years to almost 20 now when you count iPads, Androids, Kindle Fires, and wireless Blu Ray players.
My plan is to separate my network into two SSIDs on the 2.4Ghz, one on channel 1 and one on channel 11 and then divide the devices between the two depending on their function. I plan on extending ethernet cables from my 3700 to each end of the house and install access points there.
My issue is that I need access points that support 2 SSIDs (or guest networking like my 3700) so that I don't have to install 2 APs in both places (for a total of 4).
I'm not looking for something elaborate or expensive. Thanks in advance.
