So I bought a fanless firewall appliance with 4x2.5Gbps ports and I would like to setup Proxmox on two identical SSD drives. I also want to configure a bridge on my ISP router and then configure the router as a firewall on top of Proxmox. My plan is to install HA on top of Proxmox too.
My goal is to separate both my normal WiFi connection into two or even 3 VLANs, one for normal devices, one for IoT and a third for Guest VLAN. And I would like the Home Assistant to have access to both my normal SSID and IoT VLANs.
For the Access point I have a mesh router that doesn’t support VLANs and I was thinking temporary to repurpose an old Netgear R7800 and here I don’t know whether I should simply configure the Guest SSID to be for the IoT or repurpose the 2.4GHz network and leave the 5Ghz for normal devices. Currently on the WiFi router I have OpenWRT but I am also considering switching to Voxel?
