I have a handful of different wifi SSIDs set up on my network at home to help with this, some route their DNS queries through a pihole instance and others (say, without the “AB” for ‘adblock’ suffix on their ssid names), don’t. Each ssid is their own vlan and each has their own dhcp listening that doles out the pihole instance address on the Adblock-enabled nets.
It’s easy enough to just connect to a different ssid if I see anything breaking, but it’s rare enough that I keep it connected to the pihole/adblock network at all times. Works super well.
- jakjak123 3y agoThat is a great idea. What do you use to run multiple wifis with separate vlan?
- JackGreyhat 3y agoAn AP or wlan router that supports vlan to ssid mapping.
- theideaofcoffee 3y agoI use some of the lower-end wifi 6 APs, coupled with an AC (controller), from fs.com, they work solidly, and with seamless roaming around the house, after figuring out some of the rather odd translation in the AC web interface. After some annoying small steps, the ssh consoles on both the AC and the APs are all that I use. They’re mated to a Juniper EX switch running stock JunOS over PoE, primarily one AP for each floor and another one or two to fill in dead spots. I haven’t had to touch it since I’ve set it up, just keeps chugging along. Slight over-kill for the environment, but I’m so damn tired of using bad wifi I just wanted to do it right!
