      @mitch-rapp I didn't ask you to create a VLAN1, I asked you to edit interface Igb2 and add an IP address there, this is considered VLAN1, or native VLAN, its pretty hard to explain these things to a person that is starting... :(

      Man, lets start over then.

      Delete that VLAN1.

      Do this:

      TL-SG108E port that connects to pfsense:
      PVID 1
      Untagged VLAN1
      VLAN28 as TAGGED for that port.

      TL-SG108E port that connects to TL-AX6600,
      PVID 28
      Untagged VLAN28

      pfsense: Go to interfaces, Igb2, and put a static IP of: 10.1.1.1 / 24.
      Then, create VLAN28 and add the IP of 10.28.28.1 / 24, tick enable to enable the interface.
      Create a firewall rule allowing all in Firewall > Rules > VLAN28
      Check if DHCP is enabled in that interface, if its not, enable it.

      Check if internet is working in the WIFI.

      Don't forget to put the TL-AX6600 in AP mode, and connect the cable coming from the TL-SG108E in a LAN port, do not use the WAN port.

        Brother, I am so sorry. I haven't grasped all of the concepts yet, obviously. you have the patient of Job.

        This is what I've just done.

        1. TL-SG108E port 1 to pfsense -PVID1 untagged VLAN1
          ADDED VLAN28 as tagged to port 1.

        2. TL-SG108E port 2 to AX66000 PVID 2 untagged VLAN28.

        3. Created OPT1 (igb2), enabled, Static IP 10.1.1.1 /24

        4. Created VLAN28 (igb2 OPT1 as parent interface) Tagged 28
          under "interface assignments," VLANs" tab.

        5.Created VLAN28 interface, "VLAN 28 on igb2 - opt 1 (VLAN28)"
        enabled, set IP to 10.28.28.2 /24,

        1. Created firewall rule for VLAN28 allowing protocol "any" for VLAN28.

        2. VLAN28 - DHCP enabled, range 10.28.28.10 to 10.28.28.254.
          My TL-SG108E is set to 10.28.28.2 * AX6600 is set to 10.28.28.3.

        3. TL-AX6600 is on the LAN port to TL-SG108E (port 2)

        Is any of that correct? :-)

        No wifi now. It has a signal but no internet connectivity. Should I reset the AX6600 to "bridge mode" or use the VLAN feature on it?

            You mean PVID 28, right?
            Should be PVID28 and untagged VLAN28

            Ok, can you show that firewall rule? It should be Protocol any, Source: VLAN28 net, to destination any

            @mitch-rapp said in TP-LINK TL-SG108E VLAN configuration issue:

            VLAN28 - DHCP enabled, range 10.28.28.10 to 10.28.28.254.

            TL-SG108E should have an IP address of 10..1.1.2.
            TL-AX6600 should have an IP address of 10.28.28.X where X is from 2 to 9, you can choose.

            Can you connect a phone to that wifi network and confirm if its getting an IP from the 10.28.28.0/24 network?

              Ok, check this firewall rule for VLAN28 before I proceed.
              action = Pass
              Address family = Ipv4
              Interface = VLAN28
              Protocol = Any
              Source = VLAN28.net
              Destination = any

                @mitch-rapp It seems correct, did you have to write VLAN28.net or did you select it from the drop down menu when creating the firewall rule?
                You can post a screenshot of that rule

                    So, its correct..
                    Can you connect a device to that wifi network, and confirm if its getting an IP address from the DHCP ? It should get an IP from pfsense DHCP, check that then we proceed.

                      Ok, I can ping the switch at 10.1.1.2
                      Can't ping the Deco at 10.28.28.3

                        Those pings you mentioned, you are pinging from pfsense, right?

                        Go to pfsense Status > DHCP Leases, and check if the deco 10.28.28.3 shows there, it should have a MAC address, if it shows incomplete its because there is a problem.
                        This Deco, does it have a gateway configured? Check if it shows with the MAC address in pfsense, Diagnostics > ARP table

                        Edit: In addition to what has been said above, make sure TL-AX6600 is configured to AP mode with the DHCP is disabled...

                          Ah! I was pinging from CMD on LAN (igb1).
                          Let me check ping from pfsense.
                          And check for DHCP lease.

                            On the Deco gateway, yes, I set the gateway to 10.28.28.1
                            IP to 10.28.28.3
                            255.255.255.0
                            DNS servers? I used 1.1.1.1 & 8.8.8.8

                              @mitch-rapp Thats right..

                              Did you connect a device to the wifi network as suggested above? Internet should be working now...
                              If its not working, please confirm if the device you connected to the wifi network got an IP address from the 10.28 network..

                                  @mitch-rapp Deco is connected to TL-SG108E, but in a different port than the port we configured, right?!

                                  I asked you to test the WIFI connectivity from TL_AX6600... Did you test that?
                                  Please, test it...

                                    No internet connection.
                                    Also, the IP address cannot be set in Deco AP mode,
                                    So I’m trying the VLAN setting on Deco.
                                    Vlan ID = 28
                                    VLAN priority. = ?

                                      DHCP, is it disabled in the TL-AX6600?
                                      Is TL-AX6600 configured in AP mode?

                                        I can set the AX6600 to AP mode, and it will deactivate DHCP server, and static IP.
                                        I can leave it in Router mode and set the IP but can't disable DHCP.

                                        I've tried both ways and neither seem to be working.

                                          Set it to AP mode, then reboot it. Cable coming from TL-SG108E must be connected to a LAN port of the AP (connect it to the LAN1, not WAN/LAN).

                                          After that, try to connect a device to it and test if internet is working in that device.
