Model: TL-SG3210  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: v3.26

Hi, I am a total newbie in networking and trying to learn, I have 2 different internet providers with their respective modems. Modem A has dhcp enabled a distributes the ip adresses in 192.168.254.1-254 range and modem B is also dhcp enabled and it distributes the ip adresses in 14.7.93.1-254 range. I have a SG-3210 switch with the latest firmawere. and TL-WA801N access point. My goal is to distribute these 2 internet connections using my switch and I would like to implement it in the following way. In the switch, I connected 1st port from the lan1 of modem A, 2nd port from the lan1 of modem B. Then I connected access point to the 8th port of the switch. I want ports 1,3,4 to be in vlan 10 and ports 2,5,6 in vlan 20. But port 8 should be able to transmit both groups so that I can create 2 seperate ssid with their respective vlan so that any device connecting the that wifi should reach internet using that groups modem and not the other one. For this reason I;

 

1) created vlan 10 in the switch with ports 1,3,4 untagged and port 8 tagged

2) created vlan 20 in the switch with ports 2,5,6 untagged and port 8 tagged

3) gave the acccess point a static ip from the modem A range 192.168.254.5

4) created an interface in the switch from L3 subsection with the static ip 192.168.254.2 (So that i can reach the switch from the browser in that ip range, not needed in the other range)

5) in the accces point created 2 ssids, one for vlan 10 and another one for vlan 20

6) I left ports 7,9,10 on system vlan 1 (they won't be used for now)

 

My question, is this the correct way of what I am trying to achive, what are the points should I improve. I fell like I am losing some internet speed or introducing some lag to the network but it is just a hunch.

 

I would be more than happy to recieve your comments on the topic.

VLAN does not cause you to lose speed or increase the latency. If you experience issues with that, that should not be the VLAN. 

Unless there is something else that has been configured on the switch.

I also added pvid 10 to the port 8 on the switch

  @Clive_A  Nope, I just configured the setting I mentioned didn't change anything, everything else in the switch just like new out of box

I think you are almost there

 

1) created vlan 10 in the switch with ports 1,3,4 untagged and port 8 tagged - port 8 should be untagged and PVID 10 so Access point managent IP resides on this network if this is your "primary" per your point 3

2) created vlan 20 in the switch with ports 2,5,6 untagged and port 8 tagged -  correct

3) gave the acccess point a static ip from the modem A range 192.168.254.5  -  correct

 

So, port 8 should be untagged Vlan 10 PVID 10, Vlan 20 tagged.  SSID for vlan 10 just leave the 802.11Q tag as 1 which will correctly put that ssid on vlan 10 (a tag of 1 mean effectively untagged / native uplink port pvid).  SSID for Vlan 20 tagged as 20

 

The switch and vlans wont be introducing any latency or speed reductions - this is an extremely simple setup on a switch capable of far, far more complexity, and its a good L2+ switch with everything done in hardware.
