These switches feel premium in the hand, with an all metal construction and are reasonably priced so well within the home users budget.
I believe the V1 switches needed a utility that was only available for Windows, which is no use to me as I'm using Antergos as my operating system.
The switches I've been using I've been really pleased with, they are the TP-Link TL-SG108E, I've got the V2 switch which has all it's configuration via a webui. The guest network is an easy to enter word, whilst the default network is something a little more complex.Īnd my guest network, (note the VLAN ID of 10) Unifi Controllerįirst of all I used the Unifi controller software to setup my new guest network, the SSID is identical to my existing WiFi network just appended with -guest They use different passwords obviously. How I set this upĮssentially this is in three places, my Unifi controller software, my managed switch webui, and pfsense itself. I have an unlimited internet connection and I'm more than happy for my friends and family who have often travelled a couple of hundred miles to see us to have unrestricted WAN access.
When I added two Unifi AC Lite access points to my network they natively have the ability to utilise a guest network, with a landing page and even utilise social network logins and bandwidth restrictions, this seemed a little too formal for my use case. If you'd seen my Father-In-Law's Windows PC with his penchant for entering online competitions and the sorts of sites that entails you'd understand my concerns. One thing I did miss about my old Asus DSL-AC68U when I switched to pfsense was the ability to have a guest network, so visitors to our house can be given an easy to remember WiFi password and a dedicated WiFi network that is unable to access my LAN and therefore reduces the risk of malware getting introduced to my machines.
