Greetings:

I am studying CCNA. After studying VLAN and trunking, I wonder if there is any way to make Lan, WiFi 2.4GHz, and WiFi 5GHz into a single network with residential ISP services like Comast or Fios.

Its simple you use consumer grade routers and you have no choice but to run it all as a single vlan/subnet. These devices pretty much only support 1 lan subnet and a single WAN ip they NAT everything to.

A commercial cisco AP or router is a very different device than consumer stuff. On commercial AP you can assign everything to 1 vlan if you like or you can actually put multiple SSID and vlans on say the 2.4g radio.


Thank you! How can I bridge them? I don't think they have any kind of terminal. Would there be some sort of menu for that?

That is the standard config for consumer grade routers.
It is exactly how my FiOS router is set up.
