Checking whether eero and Firewalla can split Wi-Fi for a home server
The setup is Firewalla Gold Plus connected to an eero Pro 7 in , with two eero Pro 7 satellite units. The goal is to split the home network into separate areas such as Main, IoT, Cameras, and Servers, with each Wi-Fi name, or SSID, mapped to its own VLAN. In the Firewalla app, the Wi-Fi section allows SSIDs to be created and assigned to VLANs, but the only option shown is Firewalla’s own AP7 hardware.
There is no visible option to connect that control to eero. The key questions are whether Firewalla Gold Plus and eero Pro 7 have a supported way to manage multiple SSIDs tied to VLANs, whether assignment is the practical workaround with in , and whether any solution exists without replacing eero with Firewalla AP7 units.
Key points
- The network uses Firewalla Gold Plus with eero Pro 7 in .
- The desired layout separates Main, IoT, Cameras, and Servers into different Wi-Fi networks.
- Firewalla’s app only shows Firewalla AP7 hardware for SSID-to-VLAN management.
- The unresolved options are official eero , assignment, or replacing eero with Firewalla AP7 units.
