TP-LINK TL-SG108E VLAN configuration issue

@mcury
ok, one second

@mcury
Wait, There are only 2 ports on the Deco, the bottom one which I assume is WAN and the top which I assume is LAN. If I disconnect the LAN port and plug my laptop in then how will I ping 10.28.28.1?

In your image, its saying TL-AX6600..
Ok, so, don't connect the cable, connect it to the wifi network and check if it got an IP from the 10.28.28.0/24 network
Also, once connected to the wifi network, try to ping 10.28.28.1

@mcury
All of the wifi devices got an IP address from VLAN28
which is 10.28.28.0 /24

Great, that means that the switch part is working.
Now, you should be able to browse the internet from the laptop, if not, please show your firewall rules for VLAN28, and also show the NAT

@mitch-rapp Firewall rules are correct.
The NAT part, you need to click the Outbound tab

Also, I can see hitcounts... Are you sure that the internet is not working in VLAN28 ?

@mcury
IT CONNECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great man, everything is working now...
You have Internet from the access point going all the way through the switch, then to pfsense, with VLANs in place. Happy not only for you, but for both of us now :) hehehehhe

You are THE MAN! I cannot thank you enough. I owe you big-time.

Now, How do I utilize the back-haul feature on the Main Deco to the other DECO AP's :-)

You are welcome.

I would have to read the documentation of these decos to be sure, but I guess that you would need to configure the TL-SG108E ports, exactly as you configured the port that is connecting to this AP that is already working, then configure the decos to use the mesh mode.. not sure what back-haul feature means yet

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
This router is a tri-band - 2.5ghz, 5ghz, & 5ghz.
the third band is for back-haul to the other Decos

[mcury]

@mitch-rapp Hm, I see...
So, as far as I understood from your topology, you will be connecting a cable to each one of these decos, right?
If so, the mesh would work in the same way, even better..
You would only use wifi mesh in case you can't connect a cable directly to the AP.

@mcury
click here for Deco X90 specifications

[Mitch Rapp]

@mcury
That is correct!

[mcury]

@mitch-rapp Taking a look at it, give me a few minutes..
But will you be connecting a cable from the switch (TL-SG108E) to each deco?
Or these decos will be connected to each other by WIFI ?

[mcury]

@mitch-rapp Ok, try to add the other decos to see what happens
