      Hello!

      I have a pfSense setup with multiple VLANs and cant get Miracast or cast or Printer discovery to work.
      Even if I'm on the same subnet as the LG TV I want cast to, my laptop lists the LG TV but when I try to connect, the TV shows that my laptop is trying to connect, but it fails every time, as does casting to youtube.
      Also my Xerox printer isn't discovered via the Xerox Smart Start application.
      I have the Avachi package installed and the network topology is pfSense -> trunk to Mikrotik Switch -> trunk to Mikrotik AP. Both enddevices connected via wifi.
      Where or what should I be checking?

        In that case, no traffic passes or even reaches through pfSense.
        Have chat with your TV, check why it refuses connection from your device (traffic even reaches the TV ?).
        Or : check the network path (the devices) between your device and the TV. I saw the word 'trunk' so you're using VLANs => more complexity so more places where things can go wrong.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
