You set up a single SSID to support multiple VLANs:
One SSID broadcasts for all VLANs.
Clients connect using different PSKs or can be identified by their MAC addresses.
Based on the PSK used or MAC address, clients are automatically routed to the appropriate VLAN.
This setup offers really great flexibility while keeping things simple from the user's perspective. They see just one network name but get placed on the right VLAN behind the scenes.
This approach can be really useful in home or small business settings where you want to separate traffic (like IoT devices, guest network, work devices) without creating multiple visible networks.
ath10k supports this feature ( I came from the r7800 ). Looks like a patch is needed to support it on ath11k:
