Same SSID on two sites separated by WG tunnel
-
I have two sites 192.168.6.0/24 (site A) and 192.168.5.0/24 (site B) separated by a WireGuard tunnel.
I would like to run the same SSID on both of them on VLAN 554 192.168.54.0/24. I have it all set up in Unifi, both sites are on the same Unifi site, and I have set up the VLAN and SSID in Unifi.
I can ping Site B from Site A and vice verca, but I don't get connection from on the SSID from Site B. The firewall on Site A is handling the DHCP and DNS, and it works fine from Site A. There is a static route from Site B to 192.168.54.0/24 over the tunnel. Site A has an interface configured for the VLAN. Is this possible at all, and what am I missing?

You can have the same SSID on both sites but you can't have the same subnet unless they are bridged.
Since both sides would have a local interface in 192.168.54.0/24 a route to it over the tunnel would conflict.
Generally bridging a single layer 2 between sites is a bad idea but it can work if the latency is low. I would avoid it if at all possible though.
