    Extend Guest network to another router

    Tech9's method sets the 86U up as an AP, in which case there would be no double-NATing. What I suggested was setting the 86U up in router mode, in which case I think there would be double-NATing. The router mode would give more options for visibility and control for the "neighbor" network...

    Extend Guest network to another router

    I've never used 3006, but I think the 96U can be set up to have one of the LAN ports be on a guest network with no access to anything else. Then set up the 3004 86U as a router and hardwire it to that LAN port. Of course everything connected to the 3004 86U would be double NATed, but the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    I've used a 64GB Samsung Fit USB 3.1 stick for many years without problems.

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    No particularly good reason. I assumed that some would update anyway and wanted to make sure everything would still work.

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    I recently upgraded to 3004.388.9_2 and my script quit working. I found that the WAN detection code was being fooled by a "wl0.4" interface. I have no idea where it's coming from, since an AX86U only supports 3 guest networks (wlx.1, wlx.2 and wlx.3). I've updated the script to handle this...

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    Notwithstanding what you said, I still think that Asus routers are the best consumer devices available. The long-term support is unmatched by any other vendor I know of; the RT-N66U just got an update. That was the first Asus device I purchased, which was over 10 years ago. I still have it...

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    In some ways, the CGU is somewhat boring; just set things to auto and leave it.

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    I had a similar issue. At first, I was trying to use the "guest network" setting on the CGU, but the hotspot portal thing bit me too. After a phone chat with Ubiquiti support, I was advised to use the network isolation setting instead. I think the current CGU app might have a bug in that the...

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    I know I originally said I didn't want to spend more money on Ubiquiti APs, but I guess I couldn't resist the siren song. The Unifi stuff sure does work well.

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    The script isn't automatically determining what the WAN port is. That has always been tricky. You can use the ip a method described in the same post from which you got the latest file version (https://www.snbforums.com/threads/using-asus-routers-as-vlan-capable-aps.93795/post-945308). Once...

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    It seems there should be more output, in particular the first few lines that display what ports have been determined for WAN, 2.4G and 5G. The error message you're getting is from trying to turn the radios off and on. Are you using the latest version of the script, which is a file attached to...

    Can you run the script manually from an SSH terminal and post the entire result.

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    The file must be in the /jffs/scripts directory. Many add-ons, such as those found in AMTM, use the services-start file. If you don't have the file in your /jffs/scripts directory, create it with a text editor. As an example, here's the one on my AP: #!/bin/sh /bin/sh...

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    I'm afraid this script isn't going to work with an AC68U without quite a bit of change. I did find an older thread that discussed adding VLANs to an AC68U. Here's the link: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/help-setting-up-vlan-on-asus-rt-ac68u.49312/ Maybe the script discussed in this...
