having 40 odd wifi devices in the house and all on 2.4Ghz is
becoming a bit of a performance problem, especially with 4 wifi IP
cameras in the mix and wanting to add more. Its unlikely that I
can move much to 5G as the client hardware cant do it.
<br>
<br>
Indoor coverage of up to 30m - either two AP's at each end or or a
more central ceiling mount
<br>
<br>
Ability to link up to 8 VAP's to different VLAN's - bonus if the
VAP's can be multiple channels
<br>
<br>
Traffic is a mix of mobile phone connections, media transfers and
telemetry/equipment control.

I don't know that much about wifi and I don't have that many
devices.... number is creeping up though...<br>
<br>
I would hard wire as many as I could, but that maybe a non starter.
Our cameras are hard wired so that takes a load off.<br>
<br>
How about 2 AP (or more) with different SSID's, automation-1 and
automation-2 on different frequencies and associate the fixed
clients to each SSID thus spreading the load.<br>
<br>
I am not sure vlans will help as the issue is most likely the radio
side not the network.<br>
