Hello! I am planning to buy a MikroTik as a router to my home network upgrading plan, in the addition to just-bought OpenWRT based routers to be used as access points. Here is the final plan for the home network:
- Three APs will be connected, one directly to the MikroTik and two from unmanaged switch.
- All APs are capable of VLAN, the unmanaged switch is VLAN supported.
[*} I am aiming to subnet all those APs for the ease of the management. - One of the three AP will be broadcasting two BSSIDs–one for home use and one for guest network. Hotspot authentication will be a plus, but not really necessary.
Given the final goal, my aim is to (1) create 4 VLANs for different BSSIDs (2) implement different DHCP servers for each VLANs. I’m wondering whether VLANs are too overkilling, and looking for suggestions on how the configuration can be achieved.
Thank you in advance for your kind recommendations!
