I fixed that from what I can tell, and other users have reported my fix works on their guest network pro as well. I think the problem you were experiencing was an unaccounted for variable where one might have multiple subnets enabled, and also have a guestnetwork that uses the same subnet as the main. Hence the symptom I patched last night. It just requires the user to run an update with the installer using option 1.
I’ve actually noticed the total opposite @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow , which is why I’m reaching out here.
Well, I also have to consider the complexity of your setup and weight that against other users who are reporting a basic run is working on their guest network pro. First I need to know if there are any scripts you could be running which introduces a change to your running environment that I have not accounted for in my script. If so, then it is a dead give away to why your not able to run AdGuardHome. Something could easily be causing a conflict with AdGuardHome, and I am not decided that it is guestnetwork pro any longer because I have tested that with numerous users who have reported all is good on their end.
I actually just installed your fix. I wasn’t aware of it. I have actually not that complicated a setup since I now am only using 3 GT-BE98pros. I have my 1 main network and the 1 IOT network. I don’t really consider that design that complicated. Unless I’m wrong ?? Meaning it’s built in features of the firmware. The additional things are your add-on, VPN routing,dual wan replacement script, and entware. All these routers have been factory reset. I originally tried not installing your add-on to see if that fixed the problem. It did. It’s just the built in AdGuard is limited. I appreciate all your help with fixing this and for troubleshooting. I didn’t have any of these problems on the GT-AX11000 either pro or non-pro.
I guess the only thing useful you could do from here is try running a test run with the guestnetwork setups you like to use. see if the issues are present. observe any behaviors in logs you think are noteworthy mentioning. Even look for log errors present with other scripts you run from the addons. If any of the other scripts have debug logging, I'd recommend enabling it. If vpn setups you use have debug logging and if you route traffic from guestnetworks to those VPN, I'd would adjust the log levels to debug. Use the debug details to see if you see any noteworthy messages.
Ring cameras are notoriously finiky when they are not able to make a connection to cloudflare for dns manswers, and if their clocks are not being set properly over ntp or dns. Also, they do not like any of the amazon content delivery domains/IP to be blocked. So for example, if a block list has the domains for amazonaws content delivery domains or IP addresses in it, then the ring devices will constanly have random disconnects. You may have to allowlist all the amazonaws cdn network domains to get the ring cameras not to act up.
I’m still seeing instability, and it’s not just Ring devices. I downgraded the firmware to test, but the flakiness continues.Ring cameras are notoriously finiky when they are not able to make a connection to cloudflare for dns manswers, and if their clocks are not being set properly over ntp or dns.

As they will help you understand what might be happening.Firewalla – Allowed IP Addresses for Ring Camera Devices
My initial setup of Ring Camera’s with my Firewalla was pretty lacklustre! They were isolated in a device group from all other networks, but had free outbound access to the internet. So, at f…blog.oholics.net
What i recommend is reviewing your adguardhome query logs for frequently blocked domains done by your ring devices. If any of those blocked requests are amazon bound, i'd allowlist it. That should help your ring and other amazon iot devices.
so it is clear to me now what is creating instability for devices on your network. The blocklists you are choosing in adguardhome is blocking too many domains for your amazon bound iot devices/ and possibly iot devices bound for other outbound domain locations. You need effective allowlisting for IOT devices you wish to remain contected to the internet. So this is not an issue i have exclusively created with my installer, but it is something you can control with proper allowlisting.
It may take you alittle query log research, but it is completely doable. I look forward to hearing more about your progress.
Yes, WiFi issues still are present.
Airtime fairness is off on all bands, MLO is on for 5ghz, 6ghz-1, and 6ghz-2
Try running adguardhome with all local adblocking disabled. See if you start to notice things beginning to work correctly. If you do, then it could be important captive portalling and connection detecting domains are being blocked. Using adguardhome statistics for top blocked requests to check if the top blocked domains are necessary for devices to establish connection.
These are the lists I use.. I don't think though this is the problem is caused by that @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow . Also, in the log (which I don't know how to share) I searched all amazon / ring domains I don't see any blocked for the IPs of the cameras. Also I never had this problem before only on the BE98pros and the other quad band router the AXE-11000 I also whitelist most things and these are the blocklist and whitelists - I'm using adguard for blocking streaming ads mostly:
