      @biggen said in Hotel and wifi isolation question:

      So my brainstorming becomes a rather trivial setup of placing all the APs onto one VLAN and make sure all APs are broadcasting the same SSID with guest network checked in the controller (for Unifi). Then downstream at the router, prevent the wifi guest VLAN from accessing any other VLAN internally.

      The point of the system is to remove the need for VLANs.

        Iโ€™d still like a separate network for guest wifi and separate network for corporate trusted wifi. So, no, a vlan isnโ€™t needed I suppose. The two networks just need different subnets.

          The guest traffic, in this case, is never on the network at all. It is end to end isolated to the firewall. Or you can think of it as automatic VLANs. But you don't need to deal with VLANs whatsoever if you don't want to.

            @scottalanmiller Yup I understand. But my brain would have a hard to dumping wifi guests and corporate services all in the same subnet even if it knew the guests were already isolated. Personally, I'd rather do two VLANs in this case. Would be easy to remember that wifi guests are on 10.100.100.0/24 and corporate is on 10.200.200.0/24. ๐Ÿ™‚

              Personally, I'd do a /23 or /22, it's just not worth the headache of growth in the future...

                Especially on the guest network. That can get a lot of devices really quickly. Any given guest room could easily hook up eight devices!

                      Well I mean the iPads are going bye-bye with this recent announcement from Apple, no?

                        Yup. Xiaomi has a new tablet being announced THIS WEEK. I'm pretty excited. I hope that it is available quickly as I was about to buy an iPad for myself and this looks like a way better option. However, rumor is that no "mini" size is coming in the announcement this week ๐Ÿ˜ž
