I'm trying to fix our WiFi vlan issue we are having, but not to familiar with netgear I'm familiar with linksys and cisco, and netgear seems to do things a bit differently. So how we have it setup is we have 1 netgear switch in each building connected by fiber, and in each building we have a linksys wap, that can handle multiple vlan networks. Vlan 1 is setup for our internal network, and Vlan 2 is setup for our guest network. So our guest network never seemed to work in both buildings.
So now to try to rectify it, I have setup another port on our firewall to handle our guest traffic, so its not using our internal dns/dhcp, which i don't know why anyone would set it up that way (not separate network at all)
The problem that I am having is with the tagging and untagged ports. WAP port is 5, firewall port for lan is 1, firewall port for guest network is 2, fiber port is 48, this is the same on both switches.
How it is setup right now is vlan 1 is untagged for all ports except for port 2, for vlan 2 port 5, port 2 and port 48 are tagged and all other ports are off. for vlan 2.
Is this the way to setup the vlan tagging to achieve my goal of being able to have the wap broadcast both networks? I assume it is because I need the wap and fiber ports to be able to transmit both vlans. Now I was initially thinking for vlan 2 to remove all ports and untag port 2 and tag port 5 and 48, but then it didn't work. ( i assume it was because the switch was trying to transmit a tagged packet on an untagged port)
So this setup works, but only for the building with the firewall, so how do i get it to work for both building? Everything is totally identical, except for not having the firewall connected to both switches.
