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".

Re: [pfSense] Multiple SSIDs
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.

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.

[pfSense] Multiple SSIDs
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? -- Steve Yates ITS, Inc. ___ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
