GS308E for guest VLAN
I am trying to setup a VLAN so that the access point (TP-LINK TL-WA801ND) can have an isolated guest SSID. This is the first time dong this so I am not absolutely sure what should happen but the AP i...
Thank you for the reply.
I believe the problem has been solved although I don't know if the changes made to the switch really made a difference. On the switch, only the uplink and access point connected ports were set to "T" for tags 10 and 20. All ports were left at "U" for tag 1. Then on the router, the interface network port was changed to "VLAN 10" and "VLAN 20". This apparently corrected some instructions posted on YouTube which were used to initially program the router.

Interestingly, there was no mention of a VLAN capable router here. Without, just with the TP Link AP referred, and the GS308E, the configuration with multiple IP subnets is not possible.
It was a PFSense router. It had been set up for the VLANs using step by step instructions on YouTube but one critical step was not included. The assignments for the VLANs were allowed to default which is not correct. There was a VLAN assignment which was available and which when applied, appeared to work.
