Multi-SSID mode. Connected to a router running pfSense. No Access?
EDIT: I rebuilt everything from the ground up and it's working fine now. Not sure what was causing it so I won't be able to tell you if you ask.
My WAP is connected to a pfSense router. pfSense is configured with 3 VLANs (tagged as 110, 120 & 130). I've got three SSIDs configured in the WAP to use those same VLANs (see the following screenshot). But when I attempt to connect my laptop, all I get is that it couldn't connect.
I tried asking TP-Link support for help via their chat option. But he was so focused on the fact that I get an IP address of 169.254.26.232 that it must be an issue with the modem or internet connection. He didn't seem to get that even if I were to UNPLUG the modem from the network completely, the WiFi shoud continue to work for internal communication between devices. So I decided to ask here in the hopes that one of you nice people might have some actually helpful advice.
I have a lot of IoT devices that use WiFi. I wanted to segregate them from the more sensitive data on my network as well as prevent the traffic from those devices from slowing my other devices. Ireland is what I connect my laptops on (one for personal use and one provided by the employer as I work from home several days a week via VPN connection to the office). I think you can pretty much guess based on their names what the other two are for.
This is what I get when I connect my laptop to Ireland and them go to a cmd prompt & type IPCONFIG:

Here are some screenshots taken from within pfSense showing the configuration of the VLANS. I realize that I'm not showing the firewall rules here. If I were able to connect but just couldn't access anything, I'd be looking at those.
The following show that each VLAN has been configured to provide DHCP. YES -- I know that's a LOT of tabs.
