8.1 Determine the Network Requirements
Before starting to build the network, we need to first analyze and determine the network
requirements. In this restaurant example, the network requirements are as follows:
• On both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, there are two SSIDs needed: one for the restaurant
employees and one for the guests.
• In order to advertise the restaurant, the Portal feature needs to be configured on the
SSIDs for the guests. In this way, the guests who have passed the portal authentication
will be redirected to the restaurant’s official website http://www.restaurant1.com.
• The employees of the restaurant can use the correct password to access the internet
and do not need to pass the portal authentication. For security, the SSIDs for the
employees should be encrypted with WPA2-PSK.
• To reduce power consumption, the Scheduler feature needs to be configured. The radio
should operate only during the working time (9:00 am to 22:00 pm).
