Setting up a new Access Point, AP AC One Mini that is connected to a Surf SOHO. All was well with the default VLAN ID of zero. AP is creating a single SSID. But, I want to isolate users on the AP SSID. Totally isolate them, so they can get to the Internet and not see any other devices.
I did: AP → My ssid → default VLAN ID
and set it to a number not used on the Surf SOHO
This caused devices not to be assigned an IP address.
Then I tried a VLAN ID that is defined on the Surf SOHO and the same result, my AP client could not be assigned an IP address.
Do I have to set the AP as the DHCP server? The default for DHCP is off.
Thanks in advance.
I was starting simple with a single SSID on the Access Point for untrusted IoT devices that I want to isolate as much as possible. Maybe later a second SSID for trusted users, but first things first. No intention to mix internal users and guests on the same SSID. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
The AC Mini is connected to a switch that is plugged into a LAN port of the Surf SOHO. Not sure if you consider that “directly connected” or not.
My guess is that to assign a VLAN to an SSID created by the AP that there must be a requirement for the AP to act as the DHCP server. No? Or must the AP be in “router” mode rather than the default “bridge” mode?
