Hi All!
I have a setup where i pass 'lan' via cable to an AP, where i broadcast 'br-lan', but i would like to broadcast also 'br-guest' in that same AP.
I believe one solution might be in using VLAN's.Goal is to try to pass VLAN's into unmanaged switch and then to managed one, which then in AP will untag VLAN's.
Does this even males sense? Is there a better solution to accomplish this setup?
Below diagram illustrates actual and wanted setup:
Can you help?
Thanks in advance.
Best,

I assume this idea can be came.
Require to you know how to configure the 'managed switch'.
For the GL router (the first one blue icon in your topology), please go to Luci, please configure (move) the one LAN from 'br-lan' to 'guest',
and find the VLAN settings in these 2 ways, to configure the VLAN ID tag for the phy interface:
The issue unfortunately is that alot of unmanaged switches strip the vlans, in case it does that and you have no other vlan aware switch/solution, you can then always look into a layer 2 encapisulation tunnel like gretap or vxlan.
https://youtu.be/WIKwOPwtTJU?si=m9cQqQIo-PCVqFlo around 09:00 he talks about gretap, i personally prefer vxlan but it is the same idea.
On my own openwrt build i have a network config i can show how i integrated, its about the vx0 interface however mine goes over a wireguard tunnel to 'glue' two houses on layer 2 vlan😋
Replacing the switch seems to be a much better and cost-efficient way, tbh.
VXLAN will be UDP only which might cause issues if your network isn't 100% stable all the time.
I agree, but for udp should be fine the other end has to be also vxlan openwrt supportive so only over wire.
