APs, VLANs and Google Cast
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have 3 EAP225 using the EAP controller, all 3 APs are connected to a 8 port managed switch.
Port 3 is connected to a unmanaged switch and then to a PC and AP.
Port 4 is connected directly to the AP.
Port 5 connected to a unmanaged switch which has a chromecast device.
Port 7 is connected to a unmanaged switch which has another chromecast device and AP.
I have 2 vlans on the controller, VLAN1 and VLAN3, the issues I'm having is when connected to the AP on port 7 I'm unable to see the chromecast device on the same port yet can see the chromecast device on port 5. Ports are set to untagged except for the trunk port which is port 1 on the managed switch.
If I set my main wifi vlan to vlan0 all chromecast devices show up correctly on all APs, once set to vlan1 and connected to the AP on port 7 the chromecast device disappears yet the one on port 5 is visible, however once connected to the other 2 APs the missing chromecast device is visible.
I don't get why the AP on port 7 has this weird issue but other APs do not, once I change the vlan ID from 0 to 1.
I know I can leave it at 0 which solves my issue but I'm trying to understand what the issue is, once set to 0 it introduces yet another issue as some of my apps are no longer able to power on/off my devices.
Id much rather fix the AP on port 7 than deal with the above vlan 0 issue.
