How to put WLAN interface into VLAN on TP-Link TL-WR841N?

Question

WiFi

Hello everyone. Tell me how to combine the WLAN (Wi-Fi) and WAN interface into a VLAN. The goal is to receive a bunch of multicast traffic directly from the WAN connector. As part of the router settings interface, I see the ability to only specify settings for physical LAN interfaces.

One of the private goals is to connect via WAN to another section of the network where mikrotik is located, I have to see it by MAC address through Winbox. If I do nothing, I can access it through the browser, I can ping it, but I can't see it through Winbox in search mode due to problems in the broadcast domain settings.

Answer 1

Normally, it should be so, your router does not pass broadcast traffic from interface to interface, only IGMP reports can go towards the upper router. In this setup, your wan interface becomes tagged (trunk), but remains the interface of the router, not the switch. If a household tp-link can do this, then it would allow a household user to shoot himself in the foot, and a tp-link really likes to take away such an opportunity from the user.

Answer 2

Install firmware like OpenWRT, where you can shove two interfaces into the bridge.
