Consider L22/L44 for wired-only needs and LW22/LW44 when both wired and wireless endpoints require isolated subnets.
Map site requirements
- List endpoints, physical placement, and required connection types.
- Check cabling and whether wireless endpoints share MLR subnets.
- Confirm upstream network, power, and central management needs.
