Hi! I want to make two networks on AP.
LAN1: DHCP configuration, interface uses static IP address;
LAN2: DHCP configuration as server;
for both of them default gateway and subnet mask are the same;
LAN1 works great! The problem is LAN2 and I dont know what's wrong?
IP address for LAN2 different from LAN1, i defined the Address assignment range also changed DNS primary and secondary Servers, nothing works...

thanks

What do you mean by "making two networks on one AP" ? An access point functions to bridge networks together, not separate them. I'm not exactly sure how you have setup all this so its hard to see what the problem may be.

If you are running two DHCP services on your network that could be half the problem right there.

Its called VLAN's. With higher end equipment you can run multiple SSID's off of the access point, each SSID is a "separate" network, aka a VLAN.

So if you have a wired network that supports VLANS, its easy to have separate wireless networks off of a single access point.

I wasn't thinking about VLANs when I read his post. But that would make sense.
We would still need more setup information to be able to see what the problem is.

Like I said earlier ... It's very unclear.
