    VLAN with L2 switches and Asus Aimesh

    Hello there, I did not need to write or run any scripts, all my VLAN segmentation was done on PfSense GUI frontend. And my ASUS routers are on a single VLAN dedicated to WiFi, I have not found any good solution to pass through multiple VLANs over different SSIDs on ASUS router models I have.

    I am trying to understand vlans

    PfSense is open source firewall; you can buy either a Netgear appliance which will cost you more, or buy something like Protectli I am not sure if the pro version of the 11000 is a VLAN-aware router.

    VLAN with L2 switches and Asus Aimesh

    I ended up sticking with the "AiMesh" and made it work. The network all segmented and working as designed.

    VLAN with L2 switches and Asus Aimesh

    Hello all, I am planning to create VLANs on my PfSense appliance, however there are couple of issues I want to overcome. From what I understand I will need layer 2 switches which are VLAN aware to accomplish what I am trying to do. The added complexity is that I want one VLAN to be broadcast on...

    Can I do VLAN? Pfsense and Asus AP

    Merlin is already there, which scripts are we talking about? Here is my setup: Pfsense appliance ---> Asus ROG GTX-11000 in AP mode ---> Asus AX86U & AX68U as remote nodes.

    FIOS connection keeps failing

    It worked briefly and then the internet jammed up. I had to do the same FIOS app routine to get the net working again. I made sure, because the LAN was working fine: I could access both the asus and pfsense portals.

    Can I do VLAN? Pfsense and Asus AP

    Hello all, I have recently setup a pfsense appliance and put my Asus Router in a AP mode with AI mesh enabled with two remote nodes. Is there a way I can implement VLANs to segregate devices on different AImesh nodes. Thanks in advance.

    FIOS connection keeps failing

    Update: I have placed a pfsense appliance between the ONT and the router (which is now an AP) and after the initial setup. The internet still jammed up, and I had to use the FIOS app to refresh the ONT. I am going to give some additional time for this setup to work and see how it goes. This is...

    FIOS connection keeps failing

    Hello all, My internet connection is for most part stable, however, it keeps dropping every few weeks and I have to use the FIOS app to fix it and bring the net back online.

    Harden Asus GT-AX11000 on Merlin

    Fair comment, so what steps you suggest then. Should I pair down all these excessive add-ons and do what exactly? And yes IPv6 is enabled.
