To make it a bit more clear (because a picture says more than 1000 words.): Here my TPLINK becomes a stupid AP that gives all my wireless devices IP's in my 192.168.8.0/24 subnet. The TPLINk interface gets a 192.168.8.x address and again my TPLINK creates a subnet 192.168.10.0/24 for my wireless devices.įor me the less interesting because then I loose a lot of features that the TPLINK wifi router is offering like anti-virus, parental control, qos. TPLINK interface will be connected to the unmanaged switch like all other cabled devices and he will get an address from my dhcp pool (fixed dhcp address). Method 2 - wifi router interface in same subnet as LAN My TPLINK creates a subnet 192.168.10.0/24 for my wireless devices. It's a /30 network so only 2 available IP's. My PfSense is DHCP and gives an address to the TPLINK. I have an interface free on my PfSense, so I connect that with the master AP of my TPLINK.

Method 1 - Wifi router connected to PfSense I tested all three and they are all working. The pro's and cons or if there is one that is the preferred way, or the opposite, something that I should not do. I would like to have some advice or expert talk about these methods. I have 2, in fact 3 methods how I can setup my wifi router at home.
