Orange generally just has access to the Internet. The difference between these is that the purple network can access resources on the green (wired) network such as the Plex server. purple - this is the network for trusted devices like our phones and laptops.Note that when I first setup my router I wasn’t yet using VLAN’s and the 6 NIC’s were useful to be able to physically separate networks, but now it’s total overkill and two would be enough - one to the Internet uplink and one to the managed switch. I also have a UniFi US-24-250W switch, but this does not have a direct role to play in the VLAN and network config. UniFi Controller running on a Raspberry Pi (part of my control node project).pfSense firewall / router built on a fanless mini-PC running a core i5 CPU, 8GB RAM and 6 NIC’s.It turns out to be very easy to configure them to work together with pfSense owning the VLAN definitions and addressing, and UniFi mapping those VLAN’s through to a WiFi AP. PfSense and the UniFi suite both support VLAN’s.
