I can confirm this behaves quite well - just set up your VLANs in 
pfSense, and your SSIDs in the UniFi controller to go into different 
VLANs and should "just work".


Kind regards,

Chris

We are using Ubiquiti Edge router and Unifi APs to route multiple SSIDs to 
VLANs.

I am sure (since Unifis can handle VLANs very well) that pfSense can be used. 
We are using pfSense VLANs to route multiple WANs from one NIC.

Best regards

I haven't used wireless with pfSense.  From what I've glanced at in the 
freebsd-questions mailing list, wireless with FreeBSD is very much a hit or 
miss situation.  I'd definitely stick with an external access point.

My company has a D-Link DAP-2660.  It's not running through pfSense though.  It 
has multiple SSID capability although we're not using it.  You can configure 
each SSID to a VLAN.  It only gets light use and works well.

Or, for other/future reference, a "guest" SSID that would be isolated 
from the rest.  I'd expect that to be possible as long as it supports multiple 
SSIDs, and just be a matter of the routing setup...

[pfSense] Multiple SSIDs

2015-11-24 Thread Steve Yates
We haven't used wireless with pfSense yet.  The manuals for the 
hardware models don't seem to mention how to set up the optional wireless.  The 
doc site suggests not using wireless in pfSense? 
(https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Should_I_use_pfSense_as_my_access_point)  It 
also says that some cards can handle multiple SSIDs 
(https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Wireless_Interfaces).  Does anyone know if 
pfSense's hardware models support multiple SSIDs?

The scenario is a client would use pfSense for routing but has a "demo 
room" they would like to keep isolated.  Can we set up a second SSID that would 
connect to that room's network?  Or should we just get an access point for that 
room?
