AP mode : multi SSID AP mode as on TL-WA801ND really needed for home network.
Hello,
As my ISP provides a modem-router that cannot be circumvented easily, and as i use a really armored home router : I've got to use the X50 AP mode on both IPv6 and IPv4. IPv6 being the basic flux.
My problem is first to use the current Guest-network feature... outside the main X50, guest flow is not segrated from the main data flow. I was not able to find any way to work-around this.
On my current home setup through wire, and on Wifi before upgrade to X50, i was using several segregated networks pointing to the associated vlans :
- one guest network. (IPv6/IPv4).
- one IoT network (IPv6/IPv4) with network isolation (IoT devices can communicate between themselves without the need of a cloud connection and can be compromised as often they want to be).
- one corporate network (IPv6/IPv4). It is like the IoT network with much more constraints for corporate devices.
- one home network for my own stuff.
I was using an old, stained in yellow by the time, TL-WA801ND in multi-SSID AP mode... which dies immediately when it sees IPv6 flowing through it.
Replacement by a X50 system is wonderful but i cannot at least get a guest-network and a home-network living their life side-by-side.
How am i supposed to use the guest network with the current firmware ? i suppose i can't with this very current firmware.
So, do you expect to implement something like the 802.1Q multi-SSID AP mode with VLANs association any time soon ?
it will fulfill most of the basic home security requirements, if not all of it.
Regards,
Eric.
