Good morning,
My home network uses an ASUS RT-AC86U router, and several Unifi UAP-AC-PRO devices to provide wifi coverage. My Asus router is running Asuswrt-Merlin v386.7.
My goal is to create multiple wifi networks on the Unifi devices, mapping to separate tagged Vlans created by my router. This is to separate my IOT devices from my main network, and possibly to move my network storage device onto its own network as well, to help safeguard my backups.
So my first question is, before I invest a lot of time, is this even possible with the RT-AC86U? I have found several postings dealing with this, but nothing that I have been able to get working. If I read things correctly, a (theoretical) solution would require that I do some bridge creation with BRCTL, and some vlan setup with VLANCTL.
Am I on the right track here? And would the changes ultimately require any NVRAM modifications, or could everything be done with JFFS scripts?
Thanks
Mark
