Just wanted to share this Youtube video (Invidious link here) that explains how to configure Openwrt VLANs for your Wifi network! I was struggling for hours today trying to configure VLANs on my Openwrt AP when I found an old Reddit thread linking to this guy’s channel!

He seems to have a whole series on Openwrt, so if you need a complete beginner guide he sounds great!

    But I think I have to add, that I use the openwrt machine just as dumb access point behind a opnsense box.

    Ooh, can you go more into that? i have Opnsense as my router and this AP is just supposed to act as a WAP. I was struggling to figure out how to have it pull dhcp from the router and not to configure it on the WAP itself. That and DNS too, if the DNS isn’t configured on the interface then I get no inetnet access.
