My church currently has two WNDR3700's set-up: one as a router and one as an AP. I have two SSID's: a guest network and a regular network (possibly may need a third in the future).
Two issues have arisen:
1) Discovered the client isolation feature doesn't work for the AP. Evidently I need to set-up a VLAN instead.
2) There's a computer club that meets once a month with 15-30 people. The club is teaching people stuff like "how to use YouTube", so there's a fair amount of internet use. Obviously, havnig 15-30 people trying to hit the single AP at the same time causes a slow down. I figure I need to either replace the AP or add a second AP to the area.
Question: What's the simplest way to fix both issues? What products might you recommend? Price range is probably < $600.
I assume that since the WNDR3700 does not support VLAN, that I will need to completely replace these routers with different products?
Options I'm wondering about:
A) What's the best replacement for the primary router? I'm thinking I should simply buy a wireless router with VLAN support? Something like a Cisco RV220W? (I don't need a VPN or cloud-services so maybe there's something even simpler/cheaper that would work fine?)
B) What's the best replacement for the AP? Maybe a single Unifi AP-Pro? Or two Unifi AP?
Thanks for any help!
