<kris_>cheapest decent AP i can find that is vlan aware is $90
<kris_>pain
<riteo>wait does that matter
<riteo>like, why should an AP care about vlan
<riteo>that's supposed to be transparent isn't it
<kris_>im kinda mapping out different setups in my mind right now to decide what i intend on doing
<kris_>basically, i need to have a vlan for my family devices and a vlan for my personal shit
<kris_>which is simple, get a managed switch and create two vlans, but access points are annoying with this
<kris_>i'm missing the part where i can somehow split a single AP that isn't vlan aware to be used for both vlans
<kris_>without some hacky bullshit
<riteo>ooooh I see
<riteo>so like you want to make two wireless networks
<kris_>basically
<riteo>how's the cheapest AP?
<riteo>maybe you could buy two of them lol
<riteo>non vlan aware I mean
<kris_>i mean i could do that i guess since i already have 1
<kris_>via my current consumer asus router in AP mode
<riteo>yea
<kris_>or i could just get one for $90 that supports up to 8 SSIDs
<kris_>which can be split to 8 vlans if i so desire lol
<riteo>oh wow that's impressive
<riteo>well I guess it depends on your requirements really
<kris_>yeah ive been reading spec sheets for like 6 hours
<kris_>part of the problem here is supporting old devices since my father refuses to leave windows 7
<riteo>understandable
<riteo>anything after windows 7 is crap
<kris_>it's totally not understandable
<kris_>like i get that approach but windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported for like another 6 years or some shit
<kris_>and is probably less bloated than win 7 lol
<riteo>eh
<riteo>i'd argue that win 7 is more performant on whathever he's using
<kris_>he has modern enough hardware
<kris_>some 4c8t haswell xeon and a quadro M2000M with 32gb of ram and hella SSD storage
<riteo>oh.
<riteo>yea that's plenty
<kris_>he just *will not do it*
<kris_>he's worse than i am with the hating microsoft shit
<riteo>why not linux then
<kris_>and can't use linux because he needs autodesk software for work
<riteo>oh I see
<riteo>is that just a driver issue?
<riteo>like, what do you mean by "supporting old hardware"?
<kris_>i misspoke, software
<riteo>oh ok
<kris_>i don't want that machine on the same network as the rest of my stuff
<kris_>and windows 7 outright wont connect to a network that's in wpa2/wpa3 compatibility mode
<riteo>that makes a lotta sense lol
<kris_>so i have to just drop to wpa2
<riteo>that stuff is one day going to be like unpatched win xp
