Issue with VLAN and AP.
-
Hello All,
This has been troubling me for months now and after scouring the internet and trying multiple suggestions, I have resorted to reaching out to you all from help.
Hardware setup:
- Server: HP Z640 workstation with 2 1GBe ethernet ports.
- Switch: TP-Link TL-SG105E 5-port smart switch.
- WAP1 : TP-Link Archer AX10 AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router in AP mode
- WAP2 : TP-Link AX5400 AP mode (an old router provided by previous ISP).
- Endpoints_WAP1: Windows and Android
- Endpoints_WAP2: Smart lights, TV, hubs, etc.
Network setup:
Issue:
- Devices connected to WAP whether wired or wireless only stay connected for ~5 mins.
- Devices lose all conectivity to internet as well as LAN and other interfaces.
- After 30 secs they get connected again but the connection stays up for 5 mins only.
- This is loop that both WAPs are in constantly for the last 3 days.
Key Points:
- This setup has been working flawlessly for the last 2 months.
- This majorly started to happen after updating pfSense to 2.7.x
- I have tried setting static IPs to the endpoints, still the same. Ruling out DHCP issue.
- I have tried changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8, still the same. Ruling out DNS issue.
- I want to focus on fixing the wired connection for now. I believe wireless will also get fixed.
Workaround:
- Enabled Wi-Fi on the router connected directly to internet.
- Connected server wired to the router.
Any help/advice is highly appreciated. Please feel to ask in case I have missed out on any information.
TIA. -
