Wireless connections
I have an office with Gigabit Ethernet connections to all workstations, including a dozen laptops. DHCP is done via the Domain controller.
As of now they have to connect to the wireless router with DHCP and use VPN to log in.
How can I add a wireless router to let the laptop users undock and continue working via the wireless without VPN ?

ok. AP=access point is your wireless router. so your problem now is user can connect to the wireless router then what happen. And what is your wireless router brand and model
ASKER
Ah ok, sorry. Linksys EA4500. It has a separate IP from the modem and does DHCP to the user.
I thought you say DHCP is from domain controller?
Seperate ip means what ? are they in the same segment? if possible show me the diagram of your network structure.
ASKER
Yes when they are docked via the wire. Undocked they have DHCP from the wireless router, and have to user VPN to get back to the LAN
