Ubiquiti - Unifi for normal and guest network

[cstech]

Question, I am just starting to get into unifi systems as I have some businesses who I feel would benefit from them greatly. I have one situation that I have a question about. I am in the process of setting up for all purposes a new network infrastructure for this company. They have 9 workstations some wired and some wireless, one Windows 2012 R2 essentials server and 5 printers. Their current router/wireless is the modem box from their network provider. They are currently using a 24 port gigabit unmanaged switch. They are changing ISPs on Monday and just notified me of their change. They will be losing the wireless and the "router" features of the new provider's equipment are... bad. They are wanting something new and I am suggesting some of the Unifi equipment. A edgerouter lite and a unifi longrange AP. My question, is the AP able to have the regular network as well as a guest network at the same time or do I need to have a second AP and set up the edgerouter to handle the two subnets? Thanks.

The Unifi AP can do both. It has its own built-in guest isolation, or you can can point the guest network to a VLAN.



This is the wireless network creation screen:

And the guest control screen:

Yeah I am in the process of reading the manual cover to cover. Was just wanting to try and save a little bit of time to make sure it would be able to handle two SSIDs like my home off the shelf netgear router does.

Yep will do it with no problem. The UniFi AP's can do up to four separate wireless networks.
