Need help setting up a guest wireless network
At my home I'm trying to setup and open wireless network for guest access when I turn it on. I have a GS724T switch with a WG302 access point. I've created two wireless networks in the WG302: one for...
One of the key errors I ran into myself and happened to see doing others with VLANs on Smart and managed Netgear switches was the PVID (Port VLAN ID) setting getting forgotten.
When devices tag their packets (most *nix OS and Windows with Server NICs can do) and the ports are tagged members of this VLAN, traffic will pass.
If you have an untagged membership and the device does not actively tag the packets, the switch has to know in what VLAN it has to "throw" the untagged traffic. If you want to get untagged traffic to flow between member ports, you need to check that the PVID is also set to according VLAN. The default is VLAN 1 for every port, you need to change that for to your according VLAN ID.
Your Access Point should also be able to tag packets from (at least) the secondary SSID.
