No worries. I'm sure we could help you get that working if you have an problems.

Is there any chance to make step by step guide about connecting openwrt dump access points to pfSense using vlans to isolate insecure devices such as phones cameras guests...
Thanks/
NikosI'm playing with this again on some Linksys e8450s (and it's fight back) so I've hesitated to respond to your request as I know it can be done... just not sure if wifi clients stay isolated as they pass through the VLANs into pfSense and out on the WAN.
If you use OpenWRT, there is a setting within the Wireless setup of each SSID to "isolate clients". I know the isolation works on the connected WAP as well as on multiple WAPs. But there is no setting to isolate any ethernet connections if you use the VLAN to hardwired devices... that I've found. Fortunately all those devices that need isolation are indeed, wireless.

Yes wireless clients will be isolated from each other is that is set on the access point. They would not be isolated from wired devices on the VLAN that AP is bridged to.
What exactly are you wanting to isolate?
Linksys e8450 looks like nice device.

I was just finally responding to Nikos... but I do Client Isolation on my WAP clients on my IOT VLAN... and all my wired IP Cameras are on that VLAN as well. I just have rules to to isolate the wired stuff in pfSense itself.

Yeah, I got some back channel info that one of the OpenWRT Devs is now coding for MediaTek and that some of the Linksys/Belkin stuff was going to get "extra" attention. They do seem have potential but there is a UBI memory hack from DangoWRT that works... but is suddenly causing devices to die.... almost like they've had a Covid shot too many.
Anyway... long story short, I'm having an issue getting the DSA build you and I worked on configured under Openwrt 23.05.3. Either I forgot the process, or it isn't going to work... I've even tried editing in the info in the tar backup Network file. I'll figure it out or I'll send you an e8450/rt3200
JP... yes, I'm hearing you in my head... unify, unify, unify. But I really need 4 ethernet ports on two of my remote WAPs with backhaul.
