Guest network doesn't have internet access

[iTyPsIDg]

Running latest stable Merlin 386.1, VPN Manager, YazFi, and Diversion. I had the exact same issue when on 386.1 beta 3 without VPN Manager, YazFi, or Diversion. I use NordVPN. I'm using Wireless router mode / AiMesh Router mode (Default).

I'm a digital nomad. I got the RT-AC86U because I want it to look like I'm always in the US, just in case I have to connect to my company's network.

I will start by saying that I haven't been able to test this on a direct WAN connection to the public internet. All of the places I've been in require that I plug the RT-AC86U into another WiFi router. So the WAN is using a private IP (192.168.1.X), the LAN uses 192.168.50.X, and Guest 1 uses 192.168.101.X.

If I connect to the regular WiFi network (2.4 or 5 GHz) everything works fine. If I configure Guest 1 (2.4 or 5) I connect to WiFi, but I can't access the Internet. I almost think this is a routing issue (I can't even ping 8.8.8.8). I'm just not sure what to do to fix it. I've spent hours trying to figure it out (which is why I now have VPN Manager, YazFi, and Diversion), but I'm lost. Can anyone offer any advice? Do I need to set up a static route?

Here is my routing table, if it helps:

@iTyPsIDg welcome to the forums.

Known issue, use search for more info (won't really help you though).

Use GN 2, 3, or 4 instead (for now).

Thank you. That helped, as did the similar thread 386.1 LAN->DNS Filter does not work on Guest 1 network. Now I see that my DHCP settings for Guest 2 won't work. It also seems that VPN Client doesn't do anything either, it will use the same VPN as my primary. I just hope that the isolation works correctly since I'm on the same subnet as my primary.

Try

YazFi develop

Guest 1 should behave itself properly

That did the trick! Thank you so much!

Hi all, hope some one can clarify the issue i am facing. I have a Blue Cave with Guest Network (2.4GHz) enabled (mainly for IoT devices). However, i cannot see these IoT devices in Network Map or Wireless Log even i set "Access Intranet==Enable". Meaning i have no visibility who connect to my Guest Network at all. Is this scenario normal?

Yes.... at least in my setup it is the same
