I have a simple network setup where my fiber optic cable connects to the GPON and the CAT6 cable from the GPON connects to a openwrt router. The openwrt router then connects to a switch and the switch delivers internet to the wifi access point and my connected PCs.
Now I want to add a Pfsense backup router from the same gateway so that the CAT6 cable from the GPON will connect to the managed switch using VLAN and both router will also connect to the managed switch using VLAN so that, if one router fails, I can have continuous internet. The managed switch will also distribute internet to other networking devices using separate VLAN.
Maybe this sounds stupid but wondering if it is possible. if so, any guidance?
