WOW! This seems to be the quietest alpha I've seen!

Just for point of reference this update went just fine on my AX86U including guest network 2 devices (no reserved addresses). Regular LAN has a few reserved, both ethernet and wifi and that worked just fine too.

Were you running Merlin's 3004.388.8 prior to installing .9 and if so did it run just fine?

Performance may be about the same, but more function. Isn't there support for VLANS which I think can be used better than "guest networks" on the AX devices to isolate groups of devices that can communicate with each other but not devices on other VLANS.

Don't know why... I have Squeezebox Duets and the controllers refused to connect to my regular home 2.4 wifi with YazFi installed and some other devices on the YazFi guest network. Uninstalled YazFi and the Duet controllers connected right up. I'll leave it for the next 3 months as I'll be away...

Did the YazFi thing and it pretty much does the job.

Pulled the trigger and YazFi pretty much does what I wanted. I tried to make both the 2.4 & 5G network the same so the 5G & 2.4 devices could talk to each other. 2.4 can talk to the 2.4 devices and same for 5G, just can't talk to each other.

I setup GN2 and moved devices over. The "Access Intranet" is set Disabled. If I connect my PC to the GN2 network I cannot ping other devices on GN2 or my main home network. If I set "Access Intranet" to Enabled I can ping devices on GN2 AND my main home network. What I want is for devices on GN2...

Of my IoT devices I think only 1 has local control and access so it has to stay on my "home" network. All others like thermostats, garage doors, sprinkler controller, doorbells, cameras, etc. require going through the device vendor cloud interface anyway so they should be fine on GN2. My FttH...

@Tech9 Again, thank you for the explanation. I guess I'll just set up GN2 for my IoT devices and call it good.

Thanks @Tech9 . This is what I was hoping for. Your reply does raise the question about GN1?? Why would GN1 work any differently than GN2/3?

Is there a way to enable intranet access on a Guest network that limits it to the Guest network attached devices but does not allow access to my main intranet network?

I'm guessing the GT-AX6000 must allow more than the 128 reserved addresses like in the RT-AX68U? I do find it interesting that you have 3 ghosted items which corresponds to 128+3=131. My AX86U only allows 128 reserved addresses and I'm also an advocate of reserved IP's being outside the range...

Forgot to mention that once the Actiontec is in Transparent mode the only way out (if you think you have to) is to do a factory reset on the Actiontec.

I would think you should be able to do this as it sounds pretty close to Centurylink. You should be able to configure your Actiontec to something like Transparent Bridge Mode. Then set your RT-AX86U to PPPoE and set your credentials that you had for the Actiontec router in the signon section. (I...
