General Discussion / Can OPNsense isolate a guest WiFi network on a networked WiFi AP?
« on: February 10, 2021, 03:49:58 pm »
I want to separate my IOT devices from the rest of the devices on my network. I don't entirely trust these cheap lightbulbs. The router is in AP mode, but doesn't seem to isolate the wireless networks from one another.
Apologies if this is a silly or obvious question. I'm new to this. I searched for 'AP' but it returned every word with 'ap' in, and the WiFI articles are all for physically attached wifi adaptors.
My network is currently like this:
Guest WiFi─Router in AP mode──Ethernet──OPNsense──Internet
Main WiFi ─┘
First I tried to use vLANS but learned they were unsuitable. I considered firewall rules, but then realised any device could give itself a different IP address to get access it otherwise should not.
