I am looking to setup a wireless network where I can list more than 30 MAC addresses.
I have a Cisco RV220W router, 2 DLINK routers (DIR-655 and DIR-615) and a Zyxel WAP3205 used as a bridge.
Is there an easy way to use the Cisco router only as wired router and firewall, and use the 2 DLINK routers as wireless access points?
If so, what do I need to do to set them up this way?
Where do I setup the MAC filter? On the Cisco router (for each of the WLANs supporting the DLINK routers), or on the DLINK routers?
Here are a few reasons for why I'm trying this:
- wireless range on the RV220W seems terrible compared to my former setup with DIR-655;
- I often lose connection to the router when on the wired network (via the bridge) - suspect to be some incompatibility, as I never had an issue when using the DIR-655 as wireless router;
- I need to list over 30 MAC addresses, and the DIR-622 only allows up to 24
- I like the extra features of the Cisco as firewall and router, plus VPN.
Thanks,
