[LUG] OT: Personal Network Query

[Julian Hall <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I would very much appreciate advice on the following please.

In short, networking a care home with three floors. It seems they have 
run out of IP addresses on their router so cannot add any more wireless 
devices. Quite how they've managed that I don't know but the fact is 
they have, and are now thinking of upgrading. The possibility of 
separate routers on each floor was mentioned. My initial thought was:

Ground floor: Main router with Internet gateway and two separate 
networks - one for staff and equipment - LAN printers and networked 
drives etc. The other a Guest network for visitors with only Internet 
access. IP range 192.168.0.x

First floor. Router with IP range 192.168.1.x

Second floor. Router with IP range 192.168.2.x

All routers to have the staff, and Guest networks. Would that work, or 
should they have one router and three hubs?

Kind regards,

Julian
