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.
As I mentioned in another note, routers might provide only guest SSIDs, which only allow access to the Internet. Access points can use VLANs to connect as needed to the network.
BTW, I also have a TP-Link WA-901N AP. It has a bug in it which allows multicasts to leak from the main LAN to the VLAN. This makes it impossible for me to use another SSID, as the IPv6 router advertisements leak from the LAN to the guest VLAN, which results in the devices getting addresses in the wrong network. Mine is version 2 and I don't know if that has been fixed in later versions.
The exact number I have is TL-WA901ND. I see: Firmware Version: 3.16.9 Build 150408 Rel.38268n Hardware Version: WA901ND v4 00000000
When I called their support, the first level insisted that was normal. However, 2nd level agreed it was a problem, but there was no fix forthcoming.
<anecdote> 12-15 years ago, I had an issue with a Zyxel ADSL router - I wanted it to log messages to my syslog daemon, which it had the options for. It just didn't work. I kept harrassing the local support, and managed to make someone reproduce the problem. In the end I got a firmware package which fixed the problem, but it was never made public :-) </anecdote> -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
