Hello Asus and Merlin fans, users and contributors,
I am a proud user of several RT-AC86U on different sites, all running the latest version of ASUSWRT von merlin (currently 386.3_2). Big Thanks for the stable and well-maintained Firmware!
In order to get even better I would like to contribute with some information. I have seen different complains about Guest network in AiMesh. I have to join the list, although my problem is a bit different.
Setup:
Problem 1: even though I set the SSID for the Guest Network as Hidden, it is not! Is this a Bug or a feature?
Problem 2: I need to enable the Intranet Access to be able to share screen from Smartphone to TV etc. The problem I am facing is that from this Guest network I am able to access the Web GUI of the router! For me this is completely unacceptable from inside a Guest network. Is this a Bug or a feature?
Problem 3: the IP range of the Guest Network is the same as the main network. For example: Main Network: 192.168.1.x, Guest Network 1: 192.168.1.x. Is there a way to adjust the Guest Network IP-range?
On other locations where there is no AiMesh and the Guest Network setup is similar, I am not able to access the Web GUI of the router from inside the Guest Network, which is my wish here.
Have you faced similar problems?
Thanks
