Hello there, I'm trying to setup the Orbi Pro Wifi 6 in AP mode to work with a pfsense router and a managed DELL switch in order to have 2 SSIDs available for STAFF and GUESTS. Each of these SS...

The fact is that I need to reproduce the same system in an office of three floors and I won't be able to pass three cables for each Orbi equipment (SXR80 and several SXS80).

Yes, thank you for your responce! I tried again this morning by switching my switch port to trunk mode and giving it the PVID of my VLAN WIFIAP and it worked, I now have a stable connection, with the router connected with a single cable to the switch and the satellite connected with a single cable to the switch and have both STAFF and GUEST SSIDs working and getting the right IP 🙂
I can close this subject!
