Greetings All,
I'm finding that with the number of wired and wireless devices and advanced features I'm using on my network (QOS, VPN, custom IPTV setup, custom surveillance, etc.) I have on my network, I believe I've outgrown the capability of using the AC68U as the main router/firewall for these services. I'm looking at possibly moving to a Microtik or Edgerouter device to handle the routing/firewall needs and let the AC68U serve as a switch/WAP. I also want to setup a guest SSID on the same WAP that is segregated from my regular network and allow just internet access. My questions are as follows:

I also want to setup a guest SSID on the same WAP that is segregated from my regular network and allow just internet access. My questions are as follows:
- Has anyone had any experience with setting up a Microtik or Edgerouter with the AC68u as a WAP with support for routing 2 SSIDS to segregated VLANs? Is this doable and reliable from experience?
- Any recommendation between Microtik or Edgerouter for this? How about other solutions that may work? I'm looking at moving away from letting just consumer units handle all this as I believe my needs merit something more robust than what consumer units are designed for even with more capable firmware like Merlin.
