    How does Guest Networks work on the technical level behind the scene ?

    @drinkingbird Thanks for the detailed explanation, it helps a lot. However, I have one more question if you don't mind. I was looking around and noticed that in a topic about YazFi and Guest Networks that apparently the 1st Guest Network of each band (2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz) is used for AiMesh and...

    Looking for a router with multiple Guest Networks (SSIDs)

    I keep hearing about that Yazfi script but what does it actually do or introduces ? How would you setup the VLAN segmentation on the ASUS router ? Do you still need a managed switch for that ?

    Turn a LAN Port into Guest ?

    Hi, I have a device that needs to have faster speeds which can only be achieved by using one of the LAN Ports. However, I want to have that specific device to be a part of the guest network rather than internal network like all the LAN Ports are. Is there any script or way that would force a...

    Which ASUS Router to buy ?

    @Smokey613 Thanks for letting me know. When it comes to VLANs, in the more expensive models, are VLANs the default options for the guest networks or can I still use the old fashion way that ASUS implemented guest networks in their cheaper models ? How did you tested the VLANS on ASUS besides...

    Looking for a router with multiple Guest Networks (SSIDs)

    @PunchCardBoss I have so many questions about this screenshot. First of all, is Guest Network Pro a default Guest Netowork feature or how guest networks operate in the more expensive models ? Is it a paid feature ? What do you mean a firewall is still a little buggy, are the issues mostly to do...

    Which ASUS Router to buy ?

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a new ASUS router that will support Multi WAN, 1GB internet broadband as well as it will be supported for years to come with updates as well as it won't crap out after a warranty runs out (yes, it did happen on one of my previous ASUS routers where Wi-Fi...

    Is everything ok at ASUS?

    If you don't mind me asking, what made you switch away from ASUS products ?

    How does Guest Networks work on the technical level behind the scene ?

    Hello, It looks like Asus routers have 6 guest networks and from what I can see in the options you can turn on or off network isolation which I presume would only block ICMP or All packets reaching from one host to anohter on the same guest network you are connected to ? My main question is...

    Looking for a router with multiple Guest Networks (SSIDs)

    I'm looking for routers that have at least 4 guest networks or more, as far as I know, most routers have only 2 guest networks, 1 per each band (2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz). I don't like that my router have exposed FTP on its WAN port of which on the ASUS's firmware, it can't be disabled and Merlin gives...

    Looking for a router with multiple Guest Networks (SSIDs)

    Hi all, I'm looking for a new router besides Asus where you can use multiple guest networks for a network isolation. I know this can be done on SOHO equipment with a combination of managed switch and VLAN aware access point but I'm looking for all in one\consumer router type of solution. So...

    Merlin Firmware and CVE\Security Patches

    It doesn't look like there were any as I was checking that section but nothing showed up, I probably didn't hit the right keywords so they might have not appeared on the list. Ok, I was originally looking for answers about the patched CVE's but after reading other posts across this forum, I'm...

    ASUS urges customers to patch critical router vulnerabilities

    Ok, I was originally looking for answers about the patched CVE's but after reading all 3 pages of this thread, I'm even more confused that before I started reading it. I have checked the details log for my router and some of them are included in the official ASUSWRT firmware like...

    Maybe Blocking YouTube isn’t worth it…

    I completely agree with you, it's the same as with any media out there, you just need to find something worthwhile and something you enjoy watching. YouTube has a loads of interesting documentaries, tutorials, educational content or various opinions and news in some areas that TV doesn't provide...

    Merlin Firmware and CVE\Security Patches

    Hi, I need some information about how Security (CVEs) are handled in the Merlin firmware. There is a security advisory from around two weeks ago that ASUS have released to the public saying to patch the routers to the latest version of their original firmware. I have checked the details log for...
