Multiple lan subnets (NO VLANS)
-
Yeah all the 5 port ones I’m seeing online either have vlans not working or, even though they are $50 for 5 ports, you can only do vlan 1-5 which is dumb
-
@Khoomn I see a Zyxel GS1200-5 on amazon for $20 right now.. I have no experience with that brand - but from a quick look it should work, and its cheaper than the tplink one by like 3 bucks ;)

Get the 8 port version (GS1200-8). I have them both and do like them (you can have max 32 VLANs).

@Khoomn
I have also a Zyxel GS1200-8 with VLANs configured on it and a trunk to pfSense. Works pretty well and is easy to set up. -
I only plan to have 2 but can you select the vlan ids or is it only vlan ids 1-32? Also who is that company? Ive never heard of them.
I’m gonna just go with the 5 port as thats all i need.
Also is the web based panel local or online? Any subscriptions?

Sure you can, also it is the easiest understandable vlan interface I am aware of because they put everything in one page.

Currently - but what about tmrw, or next month ;)
if the extra 15 isn't going to break you budget - I would go with the extra ports.. Maybe you want to add an extra AP in the future, or 2 etc..
-
I already have 3 APs that will cover my whole house. No security cameras (i really dont know why we dont), and the only hardwired PC is mine. Everything else is wifi
-
@Khoomn oh so you won't be using the dumb switches then?
