It depends on how your network is setup. If your network is all in the same vlan (or atleast the wireless), then you can simply use the same SSID on all access points. Just make sure you are using different channels. Things get more complicated if you are using multiple vlans, and therefore, different subnets. If I remember right, you'll WDS is needed in this situation. RADIUS is only needed if you are doing EAP authentication.

Thanks for the reply. I'll talk to my boss about it, and see what he wants to do. To give a little background information, we're currently trying to bring the webfilter in house since we have no control over the current webfilter. So we purchased School Guardian about 2 months ago, and are currently playing around with it to see this best setup. Originally we were going to go non-transparent, but issues with IE and "Bad proxy caching" caused some issues. Since we have laptops coming that we don't have control over, running a reg file on their machine wasn't an option. So we decided to go the transparent route, and run SG as gateway. I currently have it running on one interface, and was going to see if I could set the second interface as internal (to avoid NATing/firewall) and route between the interfaces. We have pix as our firewall, and we'll be possibly moving to ISA, so we really don't need or want the NAT/Firewall capabilities. So is there any difference in the interface between SG and NG, or is it just SG without the firewall/nating capabilities? Thanks.

Alright, I think the only real solution is to move to using the webfilter as a gateway and set it to transparent proxy mode. Now the issue is just turning off NAT and the firewall, since we have another device that will do that. Does anyone have any idea how to do this in School Guardian?
