Virgin poster here so bear with me!
I am setting up a small network for a charity that needs wifi access points across 3 small buildings connected back to an adjacent small office. I have got hold of some linksys e3000 routers to install dd-wrt on to use as access points (they have dual band, n class gigabit ports so fit the bill).
The requirement is to run 2 separate vlans from the office with 2 ssids one for guest access and one for office connectivity.
I am stuck though on whether to purchase an adsl router that supports vlan connectivity such as a draytek or use a spare E3000 as the dhcp server and vlan controller in the office and just daisy chain an adsl modem to it as a bridge...
Any suggestions about what is better? I work in application support normal so just getting into networking and learning a lot but after some assistance from people with more advanced knowledge.
Thanks in advance
