The job

Tidewater Kayak Rentals is a seasonal hut on the marina boardwalk. Fiber was just installed and terminates in the gateway router tw-gw-01. The owner, Mara, needs two wireless networks off one access point: an internal network for the booking tablet and card reader, and a guest network so paddlers can check the weather without touching shop devices.

The dock is surrounded by 2.4 GHz marine electronics, and the booking tablet mirrors to a wall display, so the AP must do dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). Bring up the access point, secure both SSIDs, and connect the tablet.
