I want to create bridges between guest networks and physical ports. I think brctl can do that but I can’t figure out which port goes by what name (eth2, eth3, etc). Has anybody mapped these for the Ax87U? Does anyone have a method for doing so?

My newer router lacks robocfg and the cnblog post on vconfig baffles me. So lets try something simpler. I want to set up several SSIDs on my AX86U and bind their traffic to specific ports on the router. The ports can then go to a managed switch that I already understand how to use and it will...

All I found was a thread saying there were threads about this but it didn’t link to those threads.

I have a managed switch throwing untagged and 2 tagged VLANs of traffic at my AX86U. The actual routing is done by a nano R4S running OPNsense. Now I want my ASUS router to direct traffic to those 3 destinations based on what SSID a devices is connected to. I want a normal 2.4, a normal 5.0...

I have an OPNsense box set up to handle all the routing, DHCP, etc. It is at 10.0.0.1. It then goes through a switch. after the switch is a an ASUS AX5700. The ASUS router is at 10.0.0.2. I put the router in AP mode but I cannot get the devices that connect to it wirelessly to go beyond the...

Okay, I changed things and got rid of the vlan for home network traffic, collapsing it all into vlan 1. Nothing worked right for a while. I had to log into the webUI for a uplink switch, screenshot the settings, factory reset it, reapply those settings, and then it worked. I hate that switch...

AP mode has a webUI this time. I wonder what I did wrong before. We also have fewer error messages. Getting closer. interface wl1.1 does not exist! interface wl1.2 does not exist! interface wl0.0 does not exist! interface wl1.0 does not exist! Poking around, ifconfig looks like it uses eth...

OOF! You're right. I reset it and forgot to turn back on the guest networks. The tomato router is still up. I haven't used tomato in years but remember loving it. It's kind of heartbreaking seeing what happened with it. It's possible the router is defective and just rebooting itself...

progress. we now have errors! interface wl0.1 does not exist! interface wl1.1 does not exist! interface wl0.2 does not exist! interface wl1.2 does not exist! interface wl0.0 does not exist! interface wl1.0 does not exist! interface wl0.1 does not exist! interface wl0.2 does not exist!

One of the reasons I did that was to prevent roommates and curious guests from accessing switch, firewall, server and AP webUIs. For some reason, they still can but it's not obvious why, whereas the port I assigned as VLAN 1 doesn't let me access them. At the moment, wifi is the bigger issue...

I have the main on vlan 5. each vlan here I have set to get a different IP range, being 10.0.(vlan number).x. So if something ends up in the wrong place, I will know just by looking at its IP address. Baby's first VLAN. I have a tomato router I set up for this but its slow and unstable...

so for the main 2.4 and 5.0 ghz wireless, I'm looking at wl0.0 and wl1.0 or wl1.0 and wl2.0? I managed to cobble something together for the services-start file based on those link you posted. vlan5 devices are able to get an ip in the appropriate range. vlan6 and vlan9 however, seem to go...

okay. And for tagging, I still need to declare ports right? even though it's wireless?

I’m having trouble with this. So if port 1 on the router shows as port 3 in robocfg show, I make script show “robocfg vlan 5 ports “3t 8t” right? which radio interface is which? If it’s anything like tomato, the wlx.1 is a guest interface. So which while number sl is which interface? I also...

I’m setting the network up with a opnsense firewall and switches. I would like to have certain devices, like guests and IoT devices, on a VLAN. Is it possible to do that on my router or is guest networking the best I can hope for?
