Hey All, 

I just got a new AP, and I am looking to use it in a small business so that I can offer wifi, but I want it on a seperate network so that they cannot control the sonos speakers through the wifi. Where a lot of the googling says I should be able to set up a guest network, any secondary network does not seperate people on that network from the publicly avaiable devices on the network. How do I make this AP work on a seperate network so people cannot access the castable devices and take over the music?

 

Thanks in advance

The only way to separate users in different networks is to use the Multi-VLAN mode configuration for TL-WA1201.

Hi, thank you for your reply, when I tried changing the second network to VLAN 2 In the settings, I wasn't able to connect to that network at all.

Do you know why this is?

Well, that was the point - to isolate guests in another VLAN (a different network subnet) so other users couldn't see them and vice versa.

If you want this to work your main router has to support VLANs - TP-Link home routers don't. Here some example routers that would do the job.
