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

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

        Ok, perfect.

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

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

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

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

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

        Ok, perfect.

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

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

        Ok, perfect.

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

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

        Ok, perfect

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

        Created firewall rule for VLAN28 allowing protocol "any" for 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.
        My TL-SG108E is set to 10.28.28.2 * AX6600 is set to 10.28.28.3

        VLAN28 - DHCP enabled range 10.28.28.10 to 10.28.28.254 - Ok, perfect
        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.

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

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

        Ok, perfect.

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

        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?

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

        dead on arrival, nowhere to be found.

          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

                    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. = ?

                                  The wifi network where Alexa is connected to, is that working?
                                  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.

                                            Confirmed SG108E cable to AX66 is going into LAN port

                                            Rebooting AX6600
