would i be able to set up two separate networks with this router? for instance if i wanted a guest network connection.

Hi, West. Yes, you can set two seperate networks with this router. If you need assistance, just click here: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app;=vw&vw;=1&login;=1&json;=1&docid;=3b75609b0a90465db6229e7b2fb3942b_21449.xml.

My understanding is that you can cascade them. I have this connected to a four port router with other stuff off the other router ports. Everything can connect.

Yes I believe the best way is to simply select bridge mode under dhcp server settings this allows the router to automatically set various other things as to be sure no conflicts and allows use of all four wired connects instead of just 3. Also has a repeater mode.

In theory you should be able to do this; however, I'm not having much luck in keeping it stable. I can get the second extender configured and I can log on with my laptop/iPad/iPhone once, but when I disconnect I can't get it to re-connect. I've updated to the latest firmware. I have swapped the roles of the extenders and in a single extender environment they work fine, but when I try to add the second extender I can't get a reliable connection. I'm going to continue to work on this as I'm certain it should work; however, at this time I would have to say it does not work. Update: I got this working. My mistake was trying to name both extenders the same. Once I changed the names to be unique it works great.

Yes. You can see each of the guest network computers as well as each wired and wireless computer that is logged on. This is viewed under the Network Map tab then clients button. Each client is identified by name as well as the address being used. You can monitor all traffic, but cannot separate just the guest traffic alone from the other traffic, as far as I can see. Under the Traffic Monitor tab there is a large active chart that displays traffic in any of four different ways. You can choose to view Internet, Wired, Wireless 2.4G, or Wireless 5G. Of course if all my personal computers were set up to use 5G I could then set up a guest network so that it could only use 2.4G. Then all traffic being displayed on the Wireless 2.4G chart would reflect the guests usage. Of course this may not be practical. With this router you can set up 3 different 2.4G networks and 3 different 5G networks all at the same time. You can choose to password protect each individually or leave it open to all. You can also set a timer on each separately so that access to the particular guest network expires after a certain time. Once set up the way you want it, which is easy, you can activate or deactivate any or all of the guest networks with a click of a button. So you might choose to have several Guest Networks configured for various situations and then activate the appropriate one. Hope this helps. John P

Yes, you can connect two of them, it should not matter but I would not run both at the same time.

Yes, you can connect two separate extenders to the main router, but ideally you would do this if you have two low coverage areas in the home that are separate from each other. You cannot "chain" two extenders together to extend the coverage distance.

This router has 4 eathernet connections. I have 2 switches & a wireless access point connected to this router. My setup supports about 24 connections. Any more than 24 connections, you probably want to get a bigger router.

You can connect as many as you'd like - as long as your router is configured with a subnet large enough for all the devices connected to the switches (I.e. Quantity of switches doesn't matter - quantity of devices connected to those switches does)

Yes you can... I have a corporate and Guest network on both of our AP's... When you first configure the install wizard gives you a choice to configure Guest.. Anyways you configure each SSID for whatever VLAN network you need it on.. BTW.. I'm really impressed with the device, The controller software and their support.. This was the first time using UniFi...

This device is meant to work in tandem with an existing wireless router. It does not replace the need for a separate WiFi router. This is not the solution for you.

Hi. Yes, you can install multiple switches on a router to have additional Ethernet ports.

Check the manual and Cisco user community. The router has VLAN, DMZ and static routing configurations that should allow you to split out the device traffic through a proxy. I have never done this, so maybe someone else has direct experience.

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

Yes, you can keep 2.4 and 5ghz clients separated... You can name your 5ghz something like mySSID_5 and mySSID_2.4 and then have different passwords for them.. . you can also create guest networks that sit on 2.4 AND 5ghz and use different passwords for those as well...

I believe you can if the router supports certain features that allow this to work without too much trouble. Don't remember what they're called at the moment. However, I'd highly suggest you just disable the WiFi in your router. The signal produced by these is excellent and they do support hosting the same WiFi name and it works great.

I don't think you need to assign separate SSID's. Never did with all the dual banners I had. Never has any problem. My wifi is fast and I can even access it 10 houses away.
