Single device vlan
-
Maybe most questions in these forums are from home users rather than business and a lot of that hardware doesn't support anything too elaborate?
I turned my wifi device into an AP as you suggested. I love that everything is in one place now, meaning, pfsense is the central place to do everything including DHCP IPs for wifi clients and management of the wifi device itself.
I have a cisco PoE switch I use to connect wired and wireless cameras. I thought about separating that off to a VLAN but that won't change the amount of traffic on the LAN and wifi network. The only way to improve LAN and wifi speeds speeds would be to add another NIC into pfsense to play with. I still need to find a reason to use VLAN to learn about it but my setup is much nicer now thanks to the input in this post.

Now I need to find something that does handle VLAN so I can continue with my quest :).
I was in the same situation with my old Netgear R7000 using it as AP only... frustrating. If you want wifi VLANs, get a VLAN capable AP.

If you put your wifi on a different network than your lan - your already doing vlans ;)
