Hi, I'm pretty new to openwrt and firewalla.

I've set up a guest vlan on firewalla with a .10 VLAN ID.

In openwrt I've set up a device configuration

VLAN (802.1q) with a base device of br-lan (all of the lan ports on my ax4200 AP), a VLAN ID of 10 that I named guest

I then added a new interface that I named Guest2 it has a protocol of DHCP client and the Device is the guest from the device configuration. it pulls the vlan id from firewalla (192.168.220.16/24)

I then went into my wireless device configuration and set it up

Mode: Access Point

ESSID: Doug-guest

Network: Guest2.

But no devices will connect to the SSID and get an ip address.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I just noticed that the under Associated Stations the AP Guest2 will show up when I try to logon with a wireless client, but under the Host field, there is just a "?"

    are you connecting the wifi directly to the firewalla unit? If not, you need to make sure SSID to VLAN is mapped properly on the wifi side and the switch side

    thanks so much for getting back to me!

    there is no switch b/w the firewalla and the AP.

    as I've been messing with it tonight, this is where it gets interesting. I'm trying to set this up through a Mac Pro (b/c it has wired and wireless). when I used the vlan tags to create a vlan port on my pro, it connects to the firewalla, get's a vlan ip address and it's all golden. BUT, when I assign the vlan to the wireless radio in openwrt, neither my Mac Pro or my iPhone will pull an ip address. even if I manually configure the settings, I don't get any throughput. BUT if the same wireless radio is set the default lan address (main network),I can pull an ip address. just to be clear, the Mac Pro is connected by ethernet to the AP, the AP is connected by ethernet to the firewalla


    Thoughts? Suggestions?

    The problem is definitely on the OpenWrt side; best to have other contributors help you, we don't work with openwrt
