Hi Leon, Thanks for the response, I am actually in the process of placing my old router (which this setup worked perfectly with prior to upgrading) in front of the the station to achieve this. Although I am already encountering issues as I cannot apply iptables on it unless it’s the active gateway but I need to play with it more. As for my switch, it is unmanaged and I am not able to control any ports individually.
Ideally, I would love to limit the amount of equipment running but I think I am most frustrated my new fancy USG can’t handle some simple iptables. -Kev On Wed, Apr 24, 2019 at 19:13 Leon Shaner <[email protected]> wrote: > Kev, > > MAYBE you need a good old fashioned hub in the middle. > > A switch does jack to jack / port to port optimizations such that not > every packet is seen on every jack.
