    Question Wireless and multiple DHCP scopes

    branching on this topic, I want to set up 2 seperate networks, both on wireless, both with DHCP, but on different IP ranges. how would I set it up so that it picks up the specific set?

    Set 1 would be 10.9.25.x (Staff network)
    Set 2 would be 10.10.25.x (Curriculum network)

    Also this would have to be able to work on netbooks (Acer Aspire Ones based upon linpus linux).

    Any help appreciated

    @nephilim: Use two SSIDs that each have their own VLAN. Each VLAN will contain its own DHCP server.

    I can confirm that the Ruckus is fine with VLANS and multiple SSIDs, I had the kit at one place setup with 3 SSIDs - Admin, Curriculum and Guest, each on its own VLAN to route to 3 different sources - Admin Network, Curriculum Network and the Guest went straight to the ADSL router and they each had there own DHCP Server on them and it all worked well

    this sounds exceedingly promising!

    Can they all be on WPA / WPA2 and handle the traffic of around 130 wireless items (phones, laptops, some PCs)?
