I have an Asus RT-AC86U with Merlin 386.11. I noticed that each guest Wi-Fi network has its own DHCP subnet. How I can disable it, so they continue to get IP addresses from my main DHCP pool?

Use GW 2 and 3

Only the first (leftmost) guest network on each band has it's own subnet. The other two networks on each band don't.

If you are using YazFi uninstall it. YazFi sets it's own IP address ranges for Guest Network clients. If not using YazFi do what the others have suggested. Move to using Guest Network 2 or 3 rather than 1. Asus treats Guest Network #1 differently (apparently for AiMesh).
 
I moved my guest Wi-Fi to 2&3 and all is well again. Thank you all!

Bear in mind if you ever use Aimesh, only GW1 propagates to the other nodes, and keeps the "access intranet disabled" functionality. That's the reason for them implementing those subnets and the associated VLANs, so it can span multiple devices.
