OK, I guess I am lost then. If my Orbi router is in Access Point mode, it does not have the abilty to create vlans, or to set ip addresses. It has the ability to setup a LAN SSID, an IoT SSID and a Guest SSID. However, I have no control over the IP that gets assigned to each of the networks. And once I turn on Access Mode, it still broadcasts all 3 of the SSID's. Crazy as it seems if I connect to the Guest network it is still assigning an IP of 192.168.2.xxx on the Guest SSID, even with DHCP turned off. But all I can to OPNsense is the IP range of the LAN SSID. So can you help me understand what you are trying to tell me?

I think you missed the part that tells you my AP does not support tagging.

General Discussion / How to set up my network
November 28, 2024, 04:34:47 PM
I need some suggestions.
First, my desired outcome. I want three subnets as follows:
1) I woulld like to have a WiFi network that also has wired capability for my IoT network. It needs to have WAN connectivity, so it can be secured from hacking.
2) I would like to have a Guest network that is WiFi only, and has access to WAN, but nothing on any other network
3) I would like to have a LAN network that has access to the WAN. It also needs access to the IoT network (but the IoT cannot get back to the LAN). It needs to be both WiFi and wired. If I must, I could eliminate the need for WiFI, since the only WiFi device would be my smartphone.
Now fo rmy hardware:
1) I have a Netgear Orbi RBR750 mesh network. It has a router and 2 satellites and prvides full coverage for my house and the lake in back which also has a number of IoT devices. It can have 3 different networks as described above. But it does not do vlan tagging of anything. And there is no firewall capability. I think its best use would be for the IoT network only and put it into Access Point mode?
2) I have a Mikrotik RouterBoard RB951Ui-2nD hAP.
3) I have a Mikrotik RB941-2nD-TC hAP Lite.
4) I have a TP-Link TL-SG108E managed switch.
I'd like a recommendation on how best to set this equpment up to achieve my desired outcome. How do I connect thes edevices and how do I setup OPNsense to manage it?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
