I am currently using an orbi rbr850, as an extender to give internet to a workstation that has no wifi card, all is working fine until I had to use VLANS.
This is the setup:
I think problem is that my current routers are not L2 capable, therefore wondering what Access Points could be used for this use case.
Currently, I can only access de default LAN (192.168.1.0/24) from the remote host, the one that uses the satellite, but I can’t reach any of the VLAN’s.
Any advice or recommendations?
If your router is not vlan capable, no point in setting up internal vlans. The router would give out IP address to the vlan devices , managed inter vlan traffic etc
Hi, my router, and switch are VLAN capable I tested with a powerline and connected directly to the switch via ethernet, and works, the problem is when using the AP, I need to connect to multiple VLANs simultaneously, I need more a point-to-point bridge since the computer I am using has no wifi card and I connect it to the AP via ethernet, I think the Unifi series work but not sure.
If your AP isn’t vlan aware, just put it on a single vlan for the PC and modify your rules such the vlan the PC is on can see the required vlans.
I need multiple vlans that’s why wondering if probably Unify brand of AP could help in this scenario.
Perhaps I haven’t understood, if you have a rule that says a particular vlan can see all other vlans then it will work. If you have multiple devices that access the AP and need to see different vlans then you need a new vlan aware AP.
I am using Bhyve to create some VMs (FreeBSD box) it creates a bridge using an interface with a VLAN and from there all the VM’s acquire their IP via DHCP (VLAN 20). (Virtual Switches · churchers/vm-bhyve Wiki · GitHub) – all this works when connected directly to the switch or with a powerline but not over wifi
I do can access the other VLANS by allowing via PFsense to do it, but problem is that I can’t get the DHCPPFFERS coming from Pfsense.
Well that partially fixed my problem, I have now a very strange issue: https://community.ui.com/questions/all-APs-restart-when-I-try-to-ssh-a-host-behind-a-VLAN/31e3f1ed-d976-420e-9b88-6190c1325f8a
all my AP get disconnected after I try to ssh into a host behind a VLAN, in the AP I am getting a kernel panic:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000001
Any advice of what hardware/brand could I use to this use case?
