Hello.

First Time poster 😊.

Been using DD-WRT for several years though on my home network successfully thanks to this forum.

I'm new to Vlan and would appreciate assistance setting up vlans on my home network.

Been searching and reading for hours can't seem to find a tutorial for my specific needs.

I'm using 4 TP Link Archer C7 v2 and firmwares are all on v3.0-r54475 std (12/07/23) wired together. All routers have their own ssid.

Router 1 main router. Need Vlan for wireless iot.

Router 2 AP. Need Vlan for wireless iot and guests.

Router 3 AP. Need Vlan for wireless iot.

Router 4 AP. Need Vlan for wired DVR and TV and wireless iot.

Thank you in advance.

The VLAN thread is pinned 4 lines above your thread.

See Trunk Port setup.

If you think someone will configure 4 routers for free and have a customized solution for you - good luck


A little tip: start with router 1 + 2 first
All the VLANs must be configured on the first router and forwarded to the second router via the trunk port.

Everything else depends on exactly how your routers are wired.
Is a managed switch used or are the routers connected to each other without a managed switch?

If no managed switch is used, you logically need several trunk ports.

Are the WAPs all connected to the main router or daisy chained together?

All things we need to know

Quickstart guides:
use Pi-Hole as simple DNS-Server with DD-WRT
VLAN configuration via GUI - 1 CPU port
VLAN configuration via GUI - 2 CPU ports (R7800, EA8500 etc)

Thanks for your reply.

Will check pinned post thanks.

Feeling lucky, 'tis the season 😁.

Thanks for the tip.

All WAPs are connected to main router without a switch.
