Multiple segregated SSIDs (not just guest) for devices
-
It would be nice if we could create multiple segregated (if so chosen) SSIDs. Maybe something like this -
HomeMain - Parents phones, PCs, TiVo.
HomeKids - SSID for the kids tablets, phones, XBOX etc..
HomeIoT - SSID for your thermostat, Smart TV, light bulbs, etc.
HomeGuest - SSID for friends, enable and disable as I am currently able to in the app.-
No SSID inter-access unless granted by the admin, for instance, HomeMain can access a PC on HomeKids for remote desktop, but HomeKids cannot do the same.
-
Set DHCP range per SSID, specifically DNS servers so a restive openDNS for HomeKids but pi-hole for HomeMain and HomeGuest, Google DNS for HomeIoT.....
-
You can tag each SSID.
-
Allow assigning SSID to (ethernet connected only) mesh-device, ie - HomeKids isn't broadcasting from the device in the parents bedroom.

Agreed, this would be super helpful especially with insecure IoT devices and kids. I think a key is that they are on separate VLANs so that the different networks can't 'talk' to eachother.
-
Even better if this could be done where in "Bridge Mode" it would dump each SSID into a separate VLAN (for those of us with a separate Firewall/Router).

I just stumbled across this thread because I am looking to setup (mesh) wifi at my new home in a way that is described here:
- ssid/lan for main users
- ssid/lan for kids
- ssid/lan for iot/"smart" stuff
- ssid for guest internet access
Is this (now) something that is possible with Amplifi?
-
@arno-jansen You can have a main network (2.4GHz & 5 GHz), guest network (2.4 GHz & 5Ghz), and a separate network that broadcasts a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz channel, but that is the limit for the amount of networks that AmpliFi can broadcast.

@ubnt-brett Thanks for the reply! And does it allow rules to regulate access from one ssid (vlan?) to another? For example: no route from an IOT ssid to the main ssid, but from the main to IOT is ok (or maybe just specific devices/mac addresses)?
