VLAN support on HT2000w Gen 5?
I'm setting up a guest wifi portal for my system which uses Unifi swtich and Unifi access points. HT2000w >> Unifi swtich 8-150w >> access points. I have Unifi Controller application running on a connected laptop 24/7. I would like the guest portal to be set-up as a VLAN using the Unifi Controller. But I'm told on the Unifi forum that "the router must support VLAN". Is that the case and does the HT2000w support VLAN?Solved3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Gen5: adding access points
C0RR0SIVE wrote: Remote features wont be possible unless accessed via IPv6... As you said, these HT2000w units can't be put into a bridged mode, so chances are the UniFi Cloud Key will be useless for remote administration after you add on the fact you are behind CGN... C0RR0SIVE. I just had this bright idea, and perhaps it's beyond the scope of this forum, but thought I'd ask anyway. With the goal of having the access points controlled and configured such that we can have more robust control over guest accounts (to limit speed, etc), what if instead of a Unifi USG/CLoad Key arrangement I originally described (which would require IPv6 enablement/bridge mode), we use an always-on PC running Unifi Controller software connected locally to the Unifi switch? While there would be no remote control of the network (thus no IPv6 complications), I'm thinking all the other features of the Contrioller could be enabled (Unifi AP guest wifi speed control, data limits, etc). What you think? Am I missing something in the way HT2000w would behave in this set-up?

Not possible on HT2000w, but wouldn't it be possible using pfsense running on a router connected to the HT2000w? Has anyone been successful doing this? I, too, would like to limit speed and/or data use on the guest account. Would also like to create a captive portal for guests, but one thing at a time!4.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: Gen5: adding access points
No problem, I'll figure it out. Curious though, doesn't theHT2000 have a firewall built into it? Are you using FreeBSD because it offers more flexibilty and customization.....or is there something else I'm missing? Basically what I'm asking is in the set-up I described above with 3 access points, is it advisable to install a seperate firewall/router after the HT2000 or can one typically rely on the HT2000 to do this?16KViews0likes1Comment- 19KViews0likes4Comments
Re: Gen5: adding access points
Based on this information, this is my plan: HT2000w (wifi off) > Unifi switch (US-8-150w) > Unifi UAP AC Pro x 3 I guess I would need to first provision the three AP's using Unifi's controller software. Right? And could I still set up a guest SSID (recognizing that captive portal would not be an option)?19KViews0likes8CommentsGen5: adding access points
Gen5 being installed tomorrow at our church. Business account. We will need to add 3 access points to cover the church properly. Our plan is to add Unifi access points (from Ubiquiti). This requires a Unifi security gateway (or Edge router) to be connected to the HT2000router/modem. My plan was to turn off the wifi on the HT2000 and simply connect the Unifi gateway to one of the LAN ports. But then I read that you must put the first router in bridge mode....but we cannot do that with HT2000. Here was my plan: HT2000 > Unifi Security Gateway (USG) > Unifi Switch > Unifi access points controlled by a cloud key controller Will the Unifi access point plan described above still work without bridge mode on the HT2000? If not, what is the best way to add access points to a Hughesnet Gen5 system?Solved19KViews0likes14Comments
