I'm trying to setup my SXR50 in AP mode to work with a managed TP-LINK switch to have 3 SSIDs available for HOME, STAFF and GUESTS. Each of these SSIDs would have a tagged VLAN.
So: 1) I configured my vlans on my managed TP-LINK switch 2) I created VLAN profiles on my SXR50 3) I assigned my VLAN profiles to each SSIDs 4) I setted VLAN profile "1(Default)" and mode "Trunk" to SXR50 WAN port 5) I connected the SXR50 WAN port to my managed TP-LINK switch
But when a client connects to wifi, it does not receive any IP. When I disable the VLAN profiles and I sets a PVID on the port of the managed TP-LINK switch, the client have an IP.
Is not an Orbi requirement, its the concept of vlans. Imagine each Vlan as separate LAN with a different network range. The benefit is that you can use a single port or switch to manage several networks. I forgot to mention that the ports connecting the firewall to the switch and the switch to the Orbi must be configured as Trunks.
You never configured VLAN on the netgate because you were not using Vlans. Each vlan you are creating at the Orbi are separate networks, for example: 192.168.1.x /255.255.255.0 , 192.168.2.x /255.255.255.0, etc etc. Each of those networks needs a DHCP server. So what you should do is to vlan tagging until the netgate and there assign the network for each VLAN.
That is correct. Is a L3 switch? the switch will create the networks and do DHCP? If not, pass the tagging to the firewall and create the networks there.

Ok I configured my vlans on my pfsense . I tested a vlan with a computer and I have an IP in the vlan range. It works 🙂 When I connect a computer to Orbi with ethernet, I have an IP in a vlan range. It works 🙂 When I connect a computer to Orbi with wifi, it can't get wifi 😞 An idea ?
