Setting up Unifi
Setting up Unifi
Hello, thanks for taking the time to read. I'm still getting familiar with networking concepts, so please be gentle. I set up a PF-Sense firewall using an old computer. It's located in the computer room, and I purchased both Unifi FLEX and FLEX mini to manage the network. My goal was to create VLANs for different devices and handle the overall setup. I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I'm trying to figure it out step by step. The plan was to link the FLEX to the firewall so it controls the PC, my wife's PC, NAS, and Wi-Fi. The mini was meant for the gaming room, connected via a Media/Retro PC Switch to a PS. As I write this, I've encountered an issue. My ISP router isn't in the same room as the firewall, which means the firewall can't protect anything in the gaming room. The setup from my ISP connects each room with a single cable. Is there a way to route all traffic from FLEX/Flex-mini through the firewall to the ISP modem? Appreciate your help.
You need to link all devices after your PFsense firewall. Assign another network port on the PC as a LAN port and connect the Mini there, or swap the Flex for a switch with more ports and plug the Flex Mini into it.
