      Hello,
      I am now facing a huge problem.
      I run pFsense as router with ubiquiti access point and switch.
      I have two SSID :
      "Secure" with wpa2 entreprise and radius dynamic vlan;
      "Other" with wpa2 personnal (for device such as appleTV, ps4, etc. that don't support wpa2 entreprise;

      Wpa2 entreprise work like a charm.

      But assign a vlan on my "Other" ssid is my problem :
      I can't put them it the right vlan.
      So they end up on the management vlan.
      Is there a way to solve that with pFsense?

      For now I don't care if it need to be done manually.

      I wish I could use radius mac authentification directly on pFsense, but I doubt it's doable.

      Regards,
      Jonathan

        Are you using pfSense as the default gateway on all your devices or are you doing layer 3 inner-vlan routing on your switch?

          I am using pfSense as the default gateway, there is no L3 vlan routing.
          Every switch port are trunked to access point.

              Solution is to config your switch/ap correctly

                My access don't support radius mac auth.
                Do you think it can be done by a switch even if it's behind an access point?
                How?

                I am looking for a solution.

                  I don't fully understand what you're trying to do, or what exactly "I can't put them it the right vlan" means, but what I can say is that with a WIFI router with DD-WRT installed it's possible to create multiple VAPs (Virtual Access Points) with tagged VLANs on one or more routers. Combine that with a switch that can do VLANs, and you can setup multiple separate WIFI networks that can be managed with pfSense.
