Hi! According to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/products_data_sheet0900aecd8028a976.html my 871w supports two MBSSIDs, so I could give both of my wlans a different broadcasted name.
I have a current c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-11.T1.bin on it, but I am not capable of enabling the MBSSID with 'dot 11 mbssid' Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ardjan,
Have you tried this method?
CLI Configuration Example
This example shows the CLI commands that you use to enable multiple BSSIDs on a radio interface, create an SSID called visitor, designate the SSID as a BSSID, specify that the BSSID is included in beacons, set a DTIM period for the BSSID, and assign the SSID visitor to the radio interface:
router(config)# interface dot11 0
router(config-if)# mbssid
router(config-if)# exit
router(config)# dot11 ssid visitor
router(config-ssid)# mbssid guest-mode
router(config-ssid)# exit
router(config)# interface dot11 0
router(config-if)# ssid visitor
Requirements for Configuring Multiple BSSIDs
To configure multiple BSSIDs, your access points must meet these minimum requirements:
VLANs must be configured
Access points must run Cisco IOS Release 12.4(6th)T or later
Access points must contain an 802.11a or 802.11g radio that supports multiple BSSIDs. To determine whether a radio supports multiple basic SSIDs, enter the show controllers radio_interface command. The radio supports multiple basic SSIDs if the results include this line:
Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on radio_interface:
From this good doc;

Hope this helps!

No, sorry, it didn't work.
My facts:
* I have IOS 12.4(11)T1
* According to the link in my first post, my Router 871w is capable of two MBSSIDs
* I have VLANs configured
So, I guessed it could be possible to broadcast both my SSIDs (one private with WPA-PSK, one 'guest' with WEP, with some ACLs between them)...
Thanks anyway.

Hi Ardjan,
What do you see when you enter the show controllers radio_interface command? The radio supports multiple basic SSIDs if the results include this line:
Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on radio_interface X
