TP-LINK TL-SG108E VLAN configuration issue

@mcury I selected it from the drop-down menu

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.

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

[mcury]

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...

@mcury

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

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
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

[mcury]

@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]

@mcury No Deco!

[mcury]

@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...

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
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. = ?

@mitch-rapp

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?

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
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.

@mcury
Oh! The AX6600 just showed up in the ARP table! IP & MAC address

Great, now test the wifi connectivity.

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury

Confirmed SG108E cable to AX66 is going into LAN port

Rebooting AX6600

[mcury]

@mitch-rapp Ok, but please, test the WIFI connectivity.... You now should be able to access the Internet from the TL-AX6600 WIFI network.
Its an essential step that you test it before we proceed...

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
I will, I promise, one minute. I just put it into AP mode and rebooted. Going to see if I have connectivity when it reboots.

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
Ok, it rebooted, VLAN28 gave out 20 leases, but the Deco app says the AX6600 is offline, no internet.

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
Deco RED light - no connection- light is on. No Alexa connectivity. No phone connectivity.

Deco app will show it offline, because the WAN interface is disconnected, you configured in AP mode...
So, forget Deco app.
Check the internet by connecting a device to the WIFI network, confirm if its getting an IP from pfsense DHCP, then test if that device has internet connectivity.
