    guest network overlay

    Thanks for the pointers. I had set up the DHCP on the guest interface, but the problem was the packets simply never got to the pfsense machine. The VPN route seems cleaner at this point, than trying to wedge vlan where it doesn't really belong, just need to sort out the vpn connection on the...

    guest network overlay

    You know, I may have figured or a better way to deal worth this without vlans. I could create an openvpn server in pfsense, and have the guest bridge on the access points connected to it. This will encapsulate all the guest traffic in the vpn stream, and get it routed to the router separately...

    guest network overlay

    I thought I had read that somewhere in NetGear's site. I would imagine most cheap switches don't waste the time to strip out anything after the MAC addresses. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    guest network overlay

    I was attempting to use a tagged vlan, so it could reside on the same cable. My wireless access points are not located anywhere near my router, so running a separate feed for the guest lan would not be possible - if I was to do that, i'd just pick up a different router and locate it centrally...

    guest network overlay

    Did some more playing around, but i'm definitely in over my head on this. I was able to create the virtual SSID in DD-WRT, and my phone can see it and attempt to connect to it. It, however, doesn't get assigned an IP. I have a VLAN set up for it on the pfsense, but it doens't seem to be...

    guest network overlay

    And that would be fine, as pfsense, and DD-WRT both have no issues handling VLAN tagging - unfortunately, i'm not sure what my unmanaged switch will do with the tags. It's a shame, as really all that would be required would be some 'relaxed' requirements on the DHCP server in pfsense (to allow...

    guest network overlay

    So I'm wanting to build a guest network in my home that provides internet access but that is it. Not a real need for ultra high security, just different subnets would be enough. The problem is the few write ups I've seen for this utilize VAP configurations on wireless routers. That's fine...
