Greeting SNBForums,
I have two Asus RT-N66U Routers running the latest Merlin Fork firmware (amazing!)...
I have the primary router in wireless router mode (default / WDS AP Hybrid mode) and the secondary router in repeater mode.
The thing is, I would like to be able to add a guest network on the primary router and access it from the repeater but for some reason the Guest Network SSID isn't showing on wireless clients connected to the repeater.
The reason being is that I'm trying to configure bandwidth limiting on the guest network and have both the unlimited primary wireless network and the bandwidth limited guest network available from that same repeater.
I figured I'd try to use the 5GHz network on the repeater to connect to the guest network (bandwidth limited) and keep the 2.4GHz network on the repeater to connect to the primary network (unlimited).
Lastly, on the primary router under Traffic Manager > QoS - Bandwidth Limiter > User-defined Bandwidth Limiting - Target, it lists the options to "Enter IP Range, MAC or Guest Network" but when I type in my Guest Network name (XXX) I get the message "XXX is not valid. Please enter a valid IP, which can optionally be in CIDR format (1.2.3.4/24)"
Any ideas why or perhaps a workaround from SSH?
Is this possible or is it a problem with how WDS is implemented with Guest Networks and WPA2?
