EDIT:  I rebuilt everything from the ground up and it's working fine now.  Not sure what was causing it so I won't be able to tell you if you ask.

My WAP is connected to a pfSense router.  pfSense is configured with 3 VLANs (tagged as 110, 120 & 130).  I've got three SSIDs configured in the WAP to use those same VLANs (see the following screenshot).  But when I attempt to connect my laptop, all I get is that it couldn't connect.

I tried asking TP-Link support for help via their chat option.  But he was so focused on the fact that I get an IP address of 169.254.26.232 that it must be an issue with the modem or internet connection.  He didn't seem to get that even if I were to UNPLUG the modem from the network completely, the WiFi shoud continue to work for internal communication between devices.  So I decided to ask here in the hopes that one of you nice people might have some actually helpful advice.

I have a lot of IoT devices that use WiFi.  I wanted to segregate them from the more sensitive data on my network as well as prevent the traffic from those devices from slowing my other devices.  Ireland is what I connect my laptops on (one for personal use and one provided by the employer as I work from home several days a week via VPN connection to the office).  I think you can pretty much guess based on their names what the other two are for.

This is what I get when I connect my laptop to Ireland and them go to a cmd prompt & type IPCONFIG:

Here are some screenshots taken from within pfSense showing the configuration of the VLANS.  I realize that I'm not showing the firewall rules here.  If I were able to connect but just couldn't access anything, I'd be looking at those.

The following show that each VLAN has been configured to provide DHCP.  YES -- I know that's a LOT of tabs.
