Fritzbox+GS305E+WAX210 Vlan
Checked serveral similar posts, but could not find my case.
It seems to me, that my case is less complex than those I found.
I ordered a GS308E and a WAX210 in order to be able to create a segmented Network at home.
We have a photovoltaik-system installed. The different devices since weeks have grave issues communicating with each others. Some of them use multicast. From customer support I got the advice, to buy a managed switch and create a Vlan exclusive for their devices.
As I have to get used to this, for me, new functionallity I searched for hardware which can be configured without the need of any cloud-service. I choosed to order a GS305E and a WAX210.
In addition to the request from the PV-Support, I want to create more Segments using Vlans.
My Idea:
Fritzbox main Lan:
lan+wlan PCs, tablets, printer, scanner, NAS
Fritzbox guest-wlan: (no guests)
wlan cameras
Vlan3:
wlan smarthome devices like shelly sensors and actors
Vlan 4:
lan + wlan IOT-devices like Hue, TV etc.
WAX210-Guests:
guests
GS305E:
Port1: VLan1: actually free
Port2: VLan2: unmanaged switch connecting all PV-devices
Port3: all: WAX210
Port4: VLan4: wired IOT-devices
Port5: all: Uplink to Fritzbox Lan1
WAX210:
SSID1 : Vlan Id 3
SSID2: Guests
SSID3: Vlan Id 4
setting GS305E
Setting WAX210
From Posts I read in the community, I understood, that I shall use 802.1Q.
My Intension:
all devices may be able to connect to the internet
no device of any vlan may connect/disturb any device on another vlan, nor Fritzbox
Question:
will this setup prevent devices in Vlans prevent to access devices in the Fritzbox Lan?
Seemingly any type of Help and Support for me is inexistent.
I can‘t register the serial number of the GS308E nor the serial number of the WAX210. inserting the serial number, the button „Register“ remains greyed out.
Attempting to start a chat with support, a message like „queue is filled up“ is preventing support.The button „phone call“ for me is greyed out.
Trying to get help here, it seems that noone cares.
I have to send back the produkts.
