Guest Network Vigor2820n + AP800 was created by andel
I'm no networking expert but have been doing some reading and think I've worked out the answer and would like confirmation if possible.
I'm trying to setup a guest wifi network with the above hardware.
Am I correct in thinking that because the 2820 is older and only supports one subnet without the VLAN tag feature then I would have to run two ethernet cables to the AP800? one of them going to the LAN B port after configuring the VLAN options in the 2820?

if is important to use second subnet i am not sure with Lan B, never use it
but if you use it normal just enable guest at the 2820 then at the ap800 setting it with this way

give same pass, username, channel, key for normal wifi and then enable guest at the ap and so same process at "Setting Wireless LAN on Vigor2830n"
That is wireless but i think one cable to Lan should be ok as well or try wired at AP mode
What s the current firmware at the 2820?

it is on the latest firmware, however I do actually have 4 AP800's and they are all set as AP's not repeaters. i Dont think I need it to be a repeater as its wired.
