I currently have two ISPs on two totally separate networks 1: 2925N and 2: consumer ADSL modem router.
I am powerlining the 2925N to an unmanaged switch which then connects via wired ethernet to some computers in set A.
Fibre ISP --- 2925N -- ethernet port 1 --- powerline --- unmanaged switch --- Set A computers
Set B computers connect to the consumer ADSL modem router via wifi. So Set A and set B are physically seperated.
I want to be able to use the powerline for additional Set B computers (Set B2) via wifi. Set B2 computers are too far away from the consumer ADSL modem router.
I am thinking of getting the DrayTek Vigor 2862ac ADSL/VDSL 802.11ac Wireless Router and set up dual wan and vlans to prevent set A and B communicating. So:
2 ISPs (1 adsl and 1 fibre) --- 2862 ac --- ethernet port 1 --- powerline --- managed access point --- Set A (ethernet) and Set B2 (wifi) on separate VLANs
Can I use my 2925N as the managed access point? Will it take the VLAN tags the 2862ac provides?
My alternative is to do a mesh network for network 2 and keep it all physically separate but I like the idea above if it works.
