How to extend BE9300 Guest Wifi to second AP (OpenWrt or GL-iNet devices)

[madnat]

Hello

How can I extend (or replicate) the Guest Wifif service running on my BE9300? I need onther access points in my property to provide the same wifi for guest moving around the property.

Thanks

I took a look at the interface and device settings in luci. It wasnt obvious to me whether the standard GL-iNet guest WIFI was using a specific VLAN, or ip number range with nominated DHCP server. Does anyone have more details on the way GL-INet setup guest WiFi on the BE9300??

Hi

Sorry for the delayed reply.

By default, our Guest network simply creates a new bridge, assigns it a new subnet, and adds the Guest Wi-Fi to that bridge.

If you want to extend the existing Main and Guest networks to other AP devices, you will need to configure VLANs on both the main router and the AP to achieve this.

You can refer to the following guide for the relevant configuration:

Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) as AP behind pfSense: multiple SSIDs -> VLAN + Random BSSID

Hi everyone, I’m considering Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) to use as a wired access point behind pfSense (AP/bridge mode, no NAT, no DHCP on BE9300). pfSense will provide VLAN trunk and DHCP/firewall per VLAN. My goal is: 3-4 SSIDs, each mapped to a separate VLAN (SSID → VLAN), e.g. Main / Work / IoT / Guest Randomized BSSID enabled, and I need it to still rotate in AP mode (i.e., change on reboot, not only in router mode) Questions for BE9300 owners: Have you actually achieved multiple SSID…
