      I am going to set up two VLANs for my home network.
      I have a Pfsense machine as a firewall, and I connected a DD-wrt router (a tp-link tl- Wr841N) to it, which in turn supports VLANs.
      The first step would be to set up and name the two VLANs in my Pfsense, which seems to be kind of a straightforward process.
      Unfortunately, I am still struggling to make sense of how VLANs work in a DD-wrt device.
      I hope that someone can help me figure it out and to set up VLANS for my little home network.
      This is my project:
      1)In one of dd-wrt router ports it will be connected another switch/AP (not a dd-wrt device) to enable my smart tv and my guests to get access to internet from my dining room.
      2) on other 2 ports will be wire connected two PCs of mine, which are placed in my room
      3) on my DD-wrt, I want to set the Wireless Physical Interface as my private wireless network, and a virtual network for guests, just in case.

      So, I'ld like to put the main Wireless Physical Interface and my PCs (point 2 above) in a, say, VLAN5 and the rest (point 1 above + the virtual network) in VLAN10.
      Could you please help me?
      Thanks
