Wireless Access Points

I'm looking to put a wireless access point in a branch office, Ideally broadcasting two SSIDs (one public one private on separate VLANS)

Is this still the best way to go about something like this? Which Access points you could recommend?

Cheers

Cool, Thanks it pretty much confirms my thinking. Which model would you recommend for a small branch office, 15 users.

One AP will be enough

I've installed Aironet / Cisco kit in the past and it's good stuff.

If you have a tighter budget, have a look at some of the NetGear ProSafe WAPs. Lifetime warranty as standard which is nice. We've installed quite a few WNDAP350 in hotels now and use VLANs to segment multiple SSIDs.

Budget isn't really an issue, just need it to do the job reliably. Which Cisco AP would you recommend for a small office up to 15 users?

We are using Cisco 1140 APs, Im fairly sure you can get these in autonomous mode (no controller needed)

Make sure you dont get the 'lightweight' AP's as these require a controller.

Cool, I was looking at 1141's.
