HI all,
Been consulting this forum on the sly for a while now but first time poster. Have had a good experience with AI mesh using an ax56U as a router and two ax92U as nodes.
I only have fibre to the cabinet so need to use my ISP router as a modem. It has no bridge mode so have been using the AX56U in AP mode. Only downside to this is that the guest wifi isn't isolated in AP mode. No idea why this is the case but it is. I did use an old modem I had lying around for a bit in bridge mode and using the router in full router mode but I started having internet issues which were solved by plugging in the ISP router and moving the ASUS to AP mode.
My AX56U is now EOL so I've upgraded to a GT-AX6000 hoping that it's VLAN settings mean that guest wifi is isolated, however, it turns out that there is NO guest wifi in AP mode for the GT-AX6000.
This is all I get.
What am I missing? How did the AX56U have guest mode but not this newer one? Any ideas how to set the ASUS up with the ISP router so I'm not creating issues? Can I go back to router mode with the ISP router and disable things like DHCP etc. so I don't get issues e.g. double NAT. I would consider myself reasonably tech literate but I'm a little in the dark as to my options here.
Thanks in advance!
