Hello Everyone, i am installing this AP for the first time, i been watching videos, i want to configure a wireless network using a VLAN, but i followed the steps on this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1hFHDV_UjM
But i keep getting and ip from my main network, i upgraded and adopt the AP
I have Spectrum internet, using an UBEE cable modem and it has a DHCP, the GW ip is 192.168.0.1, and then i noticed in the NETWORKS tab, i had assigned the 192.168.1.0/24 network
So i changed to the network i am using 192.168.0.1/24, that is the main network
and then i created the virtual lan where i want the wifi redirects the traffic 192.168.1.0/24 and with the dhcp enabled
Then i create a WLAN and assigned the VLAN
But when i connect with my phone or any other device i keep getting an ip from the main router (Spectrum), what am i doing wrong?
Thanks for your help
Hey,
So you are not using a Unifi USG? you need to create a network within the USG or any other router you have. Your ISP may not let you create different networks only the main lan
Thanks for your prompt answer, and no, i do not have a USG, i have the UBEE Cable modem, i already disable the DHCP on it, and make a test conecting to the wifi network, but i don't get ip address, if i have it disabled the Unifi AP should provide me with an ip, right?
You will not get any IPs from the unifi controller as you do not have a USG so there is no DHCP server running on it. Do be able to make other networks in unifi and have it assign IPs you would need a USG unfortunately.
You are going to want to enable DHCP back on you UBEE cable modem or none of your clients ( devices ) will get an IP address.
Got it, i was confused with the controller and the AP, tow different things, so what your recomend the USG, the cloud key to run the controller and the AP, and then i will be capable of running the two separate networks right?
Thanks
i have a Dell Switch, i can manage the VLAN on the USG and just use the DELL just to connect the computers to the network, right? i am planning on use at least 3 AP, because i need to have WIFI in the warehouse, so i think it will be better to get the USG, thanks for your help
If you get a USG you will be able to have two seperate networks. There are speed limitations if you turn threat management on with the USG I believe 85 mbps. But if you have that off it should be able to route 1gb. The cloud key would be able to run the controller and all the configuration
is the dell switch capable of doing vlans?
