Nothing against a bridged network as long as every AP is on a VLAN to a router or is fed from a router port directly. I would never bridge a bunch of APs together ever again. That is a move that we all came to regret in the early days.

I started our migration 4ish years ago and had the budget cut out from under me with only half the routers deployed, let me tell you, a 50/50 network sucks a great deal to manage. whatever you do, make sure you have all your routers on your desk before you begin On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 10:15 AM, Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com<mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com>> wrote: Everyone seems to have lived through this evolution at some point. A bridged WISP is asking for trouble. How many APs and how many sites? Are the switches at the sites capable of supporting VLANs? That is where I would start. Either that or replacing the switches with routers. Personally, one router with VLANS to each AP via managed switches would be my preference.

I am looking for help converting our network from bridged to routed. This is something I don’t have a lot of background in but I also don’t want to end the process having a system I can’t fix so I will need someone that is willing to both do the work and teach me at the same time. Depending on how the process works in regards to time I am hoping to spend an hour a week working over the phone and through a remote desktop app. My main reasons for working on this now are I need to see bandwidth use per SM, per AP, and have better ways of tracking both long term. We are just to blind right now and starting to really grow again I need to get it under control now before we get to large. I am open to suggestions on routers but already had purchased microtik and butches scripts which after trying and failing to get it to work never implemented. Contact me off list bran...@gogebicrange.net<mailto:bran...@gogebicrange.net> if you can help.
