I have not read it recently, but when I define a guest wifi access I can only enter ssid and password, nothing about defining an vlan or segment. And it ends in the same segment as everything, with access to everything.
I think I would consider vlans to be out of scope for most SOHO equipment and "staff" ?
Dave, if your Fritz!box has multiple SSIDs, I would also expect it to support VLANs ?
Two of our access points are TP-Link TL WA901 and WA801 - they both support 4 SSIDs with VLANs. We have assigned a separate VLAN for the guest SSID.
I don't know. I've never used a VLAN to my knowledge (actually, that's not true - I think my last place of employment used VLANs to manage everything, but it was transparent to users) and don't really understand them. Nor do I understand WLANs very well - specifically how they create more than one SSID. Anyway the word VLAN doesn't appear on this page: https://en.avm.de/products/fritzbox/fritzbox-7530/technical-data/ nor in the 284-page manual, so I suspect not. It simply presents two SSIDS on different 192.168.x subnets. One is part of the same network as the wired Ethernet ports, and the other 'guest' isn't. Typically devices on the guest network can access the wider Internet, but can't see the local network. It's possible to tweak the access permissions of everything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
