Hello, I have a work laptop I use at home. I've successfully created a guest network to isolate this work laptop to its own network. However, I use a docking station which is wired with ethernet. When using a wired connection, the laptop is on the regular network with everything else.

Is there a way on ASUSMerlin to have a certain IP or Mac address placed on the guest network?

Thanks.

What router. What firmware?

To have a wired LAN port included with the Guest Network it may require using the Guest Network Pro feature of the 3006.x firmware. Currently the Asus-Merlin 3006.x firmware supports only a couple of routers. Asus stock 3006.x firmware is supported on a number of recent Asus routers.

Otherwise you can use the forum search feature to find the various other discussions. including VLAN discussions, that try to do what you seek. For example:

ASUS AC88U on 386.13. So I'm guessing maybe not.

I utilize the dock for both my personal laptop and the work laptop. Therefore, isolating the one LAN port to a subnet would put my personal laptop on the subnet. That's why I was wondering if MAC or IP could be used. I'll peruse the threads though. Thank you!
