Your introduction to the subject of VLANs was quite engaging and informative, especially for those without a formal degree or completion of a networking course. I'm intrigued to see where you'll steer the topic and the channel in the future. It appears you've left some hints - a practical demonstration, perhaps involving the implementation of VLANs with NextDNS profiles.

Don't hesitate to delve into more theoretical aspects for nerds like me. On the practical side, exploring data frames in Wireshark with TagIDs would provide a unique perspective and enhance the overall understanding of the topic. Ta.

Hey Filipe, I have a question... on the AP, for example, Imagine that I have a vlan 30, 2 pcs are connected to it using wifi, if I transfer a file between those 2 pcs, do they send traffic to the switch and go back to the AP then to the pcs or the AP is able to handle it without need to send the traffic "outside" of the AP? I'm new on the VLAN subject, seems to me that because the AP has a dependency on the Switch maybe the VLAN on AP will create a little bit more latency because of it seems that it needs to go to the switch then go back to the AP before send the package to the pc. Thanks! by the way! nice video and explanation!

Hi, there's a glitch in the network matrix, as VLAN numeration goes from 1 to 4, 094, you can only have 4, 094 VLAN, not 4, 096.
