Wirelessly Bridge 2 LANS

[Chicane]

we want to wireless-ly bridge two lans.

i'm looking at 2 of these:

but my main concern is VLAN's, does anyone have any recommendations for wireless kit that will support vlans?

or Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge but again couldnt find any specs that says it supports VLAN's.

So you have :-



<-------------------> || ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || <------------------>
Physical Lan Device Wireless Device Physical Lan


But the physical LAN's are actually multiple Virtual LAN's, and I presume you are planning on putting the "Device" on a tagged port on each physical lan.

I have no idea on the netgear device, but the Cisco datasheet shows the Aironet 1400's do this and more.

(see the Intelligent Network Services and Figure 4 sections).

I seem to remember the last time i heard someone needing to do this, Cisco was the only option.

[Chicane]

yeah that's exactly right pumpkin.

I doubt they'd spend £4k on a solution they'd only use for a month.

[Elkeeed]

Are you trying to trunk vlans across it because then the only problem is the frame size

how far apart are the 2 networks ? and whats in between them ?

[AdamR]

what's wrong with putting a router at 1 end, then using a simple wireless repeater? use the router to route between the vlans and have the repater on the other vlan


LAN -- Router -- WiFi Adapter -- WiFi Repeater - WiFi Adapter -- LAN

We use the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series and they support VLANs so would have thought a higher end 1400 would?
