Hello everyone,
So I managed to get this feature working on my TP-Link EAP615v1 AP. However there seems to be an issue with AirPlay to my Apple devices when using this feature on my Netgear R7800 when setup as a Dumb AP per the OpenWRT article. I have a thread opened here detailing the issue but here is a quick rundown, maybe someone can shed a little light....
I have my R7800 configured with DPSK but AirPlay doesn't work between my Apple TV and my iPhone. The R7800 has (2) separate SSIDs, the 2.4GHz radio is for devices like phones/laptops and such. the 5GHz radio streaming devices like my Apple TV (bigger pipe since they are not hardwired yet). I have (3) VLANs...LAN (VLAN1, mainly for wired devices like servers), WLAN (VLAN20 for laptops, mobile devices, etc), and Guest-WLAN (VLAN21, segregated for guest devices).
When I have my Apple devices (TV,iPhone) connected to VLAN1, AirPlay works fine. When I have it connected to VLAN20 AirPlay doesn't work. Apple devices do not show. This happens regardless of whether the devices are on the same radio or different radios. The devices are getting the same subnet IP addresses, so I'm confused as to what could be the issue.
If anyone can give some insight, that would be great. The latest configuration for my R7800 can been seen below. NOTE that DHCP, DNS, and Firewall services have been disabled per the Dumb AP article.
