Guest Wifi and VLANs

zer0 0

Hello All,
I need to setup a guest wifi for my small office. Please see the diagram for my network setup. I want to use TPlink-WR741ND as my guest wifi access point.

I plugged the WAN interface on TPLink to a switch and I thought it would essentially create a separate network which would not be able to access my LAN but it can still see all computers on network.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Yeah you need a separate pfSense interface for your guest wi-fi. Something like this:

Thank you for reply,
did you mean a separate NIC or a VLAN on the LAN interface.
Also, can VLANs actually work given my setup and switches?

Either.

No idea I didn't research those switches. They need to support 802.1q to do VLANs.
