I am looking at the Qotom Q3554G4 or the SUPERMICRO MBD-X11SBA-LN4F-O to start with.
If you will be getting your hands on the Supermicro hardware, 2 points from me above that will be nice to know;
It is also able as a bare bone from Supermicro SuperServer E200-9B only RAM and mSATA must be installed.
Long thread about the board, but worth the time reading it
My router has a WiFi and Guest WiFi. Can I use the Guest WiFi from the AP and have it isolated from my private internal network?
Three things must be given to realize that;
pfSense must support VLANs (by default)
the WLAN AP must be supporting multi-SSIDs (more then one SSID)
WLAN AP must be capable and supporting of Multi-VLANs too (more then one VLAN)
I am planning on connecting the AP to a switch.
the network switch must or should be supporting VLANs too
Modem –> pfSense --> Switch -- > AP (internal Wifi)
(Guest WiFi)
Set up two SSIDs likes private and guest
Set up two VLANs on all devices, pfSense, switch and the WiFi AP
put each SSID in its own VLAN in
At the WiFi AP the VLANs must be set as tagged too due to the circumstance of using more then one VLAN there!
