Can one access point be used by two wireless networks?

We need two wireless networks in our facility, one as a bridged LAN for employee use and one as a hotspot for customers. Is this possible using one physical AP 55C or do we need two?

Hi Steve,

Yes, this is possible with single AP, you need to configure two SSID with respective option selected for client traffic.

Thanks

I can't seem to get this to work.

I can configure a bridge to the LAN (with no hotspot) that works perfectly.

I can configure a hotspot (with no bridge) that works. Clients have Internet access.

When I assign the same hotspot to both, the bridge works, but the clients connected to the hotspot can't get to the internet.

Any thoughts on this?

I've verified the problem. As soon as I assign the hotspot to the bridged network (leaving it also assigned to the hotspot network), clients on the hotspot network lose their internet connection. As soon as I remove it from the bridged network, the hotspot network works.
