Setting up Unifi

[Stin6667]

Good day,

 

Thanks for reading this.

I am still new to this networking stuff so please be kind.

 

So I created a PFsense firewall using an old pc. This sits in the computer room connected 

So I bought the Unifi FLEX and FLEX mini. So I can Create VLANS for each thing an manage the network( Don't know if I can . One problem after another).

The plan was to connect the FLEX to the Firewall and have that manage the following

My pc

Wife PC

NAS

and Wifi

 

The flex mini was for the gaming room

connected to the following

Media/Retro PC

Switch

PS

 

As I am writing this I have found a problem. Since my ISP router is not in the same room as my firewall. The firewall wont protect anything in the gaming room.

The way my ISP set it up. It is the link between the Rooms, with one cable each connecting it to each of the rooms. 

 

Is there a way to rout  all traffic  FLEX/Flex-mini ->Firewall-> ISP modem?

 

Thanks for your time

You'd have to connect everything downstream of your PFsense firewall. Either allocate another network port on the PC as a LAN port and connect the Mini there, or replace the Flex with a switch that has more ports and connect the Flex Mini to that.
