Hi everyone,
I have upgraded my network equipment and changed my old home wireless router and access point with two mikrotik HAP AC2. One acts as a main router, connecting to the internet, and the second HAP AC2 has been configured as a basic AP, in the same subnet. The connection between them is done with a gigabit ethernet link.
The internet connection is tagged with the provider assigned VLAN, which is already done.
Basic configuration is working great, wlan are configured with different ssids for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and wifi coverage is great, with even more performance than with the old routers.
Now I want to migrate my IOT and smart-tv&speakers to separate VLANs, something like other users do nowadays as our home networks keep growing.
I guess that I have to (almost) duplicate the bridges wlan and VLAN configuration on both HAP AC2s, then reconfigure the ethernet link between them with a "trunk"" port on each router(switch).
The topology and architecture that I have in mind is this:
Each VLAN would be in a different subnet, then I would go with firewall rules to let some devices connect to the IOT devices.
Is it right?
What would be the right order for configuring both HAPs without loosing total connectivity with the home control system, iot devices and smarttvs?
To reduce the number of devices to reconfigure I'd like keep the IOT devices (15+) in the existing subnetwork 192.168.0.0/24, creating new subnets and VLANs for the other devices.
Could you point me to some tutorial with a similar topology?
Thanks in advance
