Hello, Carl, I have heard that you now also need different VLANs for your part of the building. Before we go into further planning, however, I would like to introduce you to the term VLAN and its benefits. VLAN stands for Virtual Local Area Network. So what's the point of a VLAN, you wonder? Quite simple, for example the segmentation of a building, as in floors. Floor1 is VLAN1, floor2 is VLAN2 and so on. And what's the point? It's also very simple, you can give access rights for individual floors based on this. - Floor1, for example, can communicate with every other florr and access each Internet page. - Floor2 may only communicate with Floor3 and not on any website, but only on Meraki.com / dashboard.meraki.com - Floor3 is not allowed to communicate with any other floor or to the Internet. Only mails and access to certain servers are allowed. - And so on, there's nearly no limit. For WiFi, for example, we could enter the same VLAN on all floors, so if you change floors, it's the same everywhere. So nothing changes for your notebook and you don't have any stress because everything runs automatically. As we all know, pictures tell more than a thousand words, here a simple one, to understand the above even better: In principle, all providers can use the technology, but I have in mind the Meraki solution for you. I can give you easy access to the Meraki website (dashboard), where you can get an overview yourself and see everything transparently that has been set, if that's what you want. Hope this helps, talk to you soon. If you have any questions just give me a call or sent me a e-mail. Marc
