    I don’t get how VLANs work with wireless APs!

    Goal is asking a few questions to determine before buying any new hardware, if one SSID can handle more than one VLAN. Seems the answer is no. For all the things I've read it is never mentioned SSID and VLAN are always one to one, cannot be one to many.

    I don’t get how VLANs work with wireless APs!

    How about "one SSID multiple VLANs" approach, will that work? On any VLAN capable AP?

    I don’t get how VLANs work with wireless APs!

    I do not get how VLANs are supposed to work with wireless APs in a home network! Background: Have read up on VLANs in a home network. In the interest of experimenting am about to take the plunge. I use a router/FW that fully supports VLANs, opnSense, and shortly will buy an inexpensive managed...

    In need of good video(s) for Cat 6a cable stripping and punch down practices

    I'm confused. Plugs I linked?

    In need of good video(s) for Cat 6a cable stripping and punch down practices

    I seem to have answered my own question. At app. 12:25 in this video (from TrueCable.com) the guy mentions the 1/2 in. untwist specification. I read this spec. somewhere in the past and the explanations now make sense...

    In need of good video(s) for Cat 6a cable stripping and punch down practices

    Interesting videos, thanks. I know the number of twists per inch in each pair is greater for 6a vs. 6, and I was interested to find out if there are any restrictions, limitations or good practices when the pairs are untwisted, straightened and punched. People bring this up in videos but the...

    In need of good video(s) for Cat 6a cable stripping and punch down practices

    Title explains the request. I'm looking for one or more "How to" videos showing Cat 6a cable being installed, correctly, on to a punch block on a patch panel. I've searched on YouTube and some, many, most of the things people say and do are questionable. I'm looking for practices that fully...

    OPNsense vs. pfSense CE in 2023, what are your thoughts?

    I am new to pfSense, and now considering OPNsense. Recently dove head first and bought a device with 4 interfaces. Am planning to use pfSense CE. In the past have used Cisco RV345 and similar (RV130, RV220) SOHO routers. And I am used to having a separate wireless AP, based all the excellent...

    Pros/Cons of preloaded Netgate appliance vs. installing on own hardware?

    Interesting, thanks for pointing out. Specs show low power consumption.

    Pros/Cons of preloaded Netgate appliance vs. installing on own hardware?

    I’m specifically thinking Netgate models 2100 or 4100 vs. a Protectli FW4C. The Netgate 4100 at $600 is at the very top of the range to spend. Application will be to replace a Cisco RV345 which is used in a small home office/small business arrangement. At various times several people connect...

    News RV340/345 Security Vulnerability

    That RESTCONF setting has a checkbox for LAN and WAN. Surprisingly the Cisco advisory does not even mention this. That being so, I'm going to proceed with 'keeping the WAN checkmark set to off' is good enough. The Cisco Admin Guide for RESTCONF says nothing useful, e.g., "By default, it is...

    Replacement for RV-340

    I also can't determine if the firewall is doing full stateful packet inspection. Also I also see configuration requires the "Omada App."

    Replacement for RV-340

    Seven month old thread that I want to add to. I see a new TP-Link model that is worth discussion, ER8411, link to specs. Cost is in the $ 300+ range, which makes it similar to the RV-345 345 POE models. It's speced for 10GB WAN with "Up to 10 WAN Ports", (I hate when technology marketing uses...

    New Cisco RV34x Router Upgrade firmware

    Wow, nice to see one more update. My usual rant: 1. As always, the release notes, for the new version only, are not (where the router popup msg says they are), on the release notes support page. 2. As always, you can hack the release version into the release notes URL and see the PDF document...

    Next Steps from Cisco RV340

    Agree with above, I'll keep using an RV-34x router for now. Will eventually change out but it's not a defcon-1/code red urgent emergency at this point in time.
