    How to use a different subnet for WiFi guest network?

    You can do what you want but at a cost. 1. You'd need to create a separate guest vlan on both n66 and ac68 using CLI. 2. This functionality would only be possible if you sacrifice CTF(performance). Btw, I use exactly the same hardware for the same purpose.

    How to set up guest network without other WiFi networks?

    If you want to use AC68U exclusively for guests vs. ORBI for non-guests, you can try one of the following using custom scripts: 1. Make the main wireless networks behave as if they are guests by adding the following four bridging rules: ebtables -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth1 -j DROP ebtables -t...

    Weird vlan behavior with CTF enabled/disabled

    As I wrote earlier: I had a similar issue with both N66U (AP mode) and AC68U (router mode) when I configured a second bridge and a VLAN(4). On N66U, depending on whether I used VLAN1 first or VLAN4 first from the same device, the second connection could not work because the ethernet frames were...

    Weird vlan behavior with CTF enabled/disabled

    In my experience with N66U and AC68U, vlan bridging does not work with CTF enabled. I described my observations several days ago. So, it's one or the other: vlans or CTF.

    How to set up guest network without other WiFi networks?

    You cannot disable an AP access to your local network without both the router and the AP supporting VLANs (ethernet frame tagging). Since neither your router (officially) nor AP support VLANs, the separation cannot be achieved. Even if you configure your router with VLANs using CLI , you'd...

    help recovering bricked rt-ac56u

    If you consider that a learning project, you may try using the router JTAG interface to reflash CFE. I am not sure if AC56 has an easily identifiable JTAG connector, though: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/how-to-asus-routers-jtag-recovery.19077/ You'd need a JTAG debugger and a piece of...

    Use LAN port 4 as private network

    Most likely your problem is caused by the CTF acceleration. I had a similar issue with both N66U (AP mode) and AC68U (router mode) when I configured a second bridge and a VLAN(4). On N66U, depending on whether I used VLAN1 first or VLAN4 first from the same device, the second connection could...

    SSID AP vlan tagging not working

    A bizarre vlan tagging happens when I try to create a VLAN based SSID separation. Here's the configuration for the RT-N66U router running in the AP mode (the latest Merlin release): #!/bin/sh robocfg vlan 4 ports "0t 8t" vconfig add eth0 4 ifconfig vlan4 up brctl addbr br1 brctl addif br1...
