My GUEST network loses internet connectivity after a period of time (most recently, it failed after three days of working fine.) In the guest network settings, I have “Time Remaining” set to “unlimited.”
Once the guest network loses internet connectivity, I can still connect to its SSID, but there is no internet access. Rebooting the router restores internet connectivity on the guest network, but eventually the same issue appears again.

More info:
- Router is ASUS RT-AX86U Pro running the latest firmware (ending 24198, released Nov 8, 2023).
- I am using guest network index #2, because guest network guest network index #1 does not provide internet access at all. (There are various posts on this forum discussing issues with guest network #1 – the issue seems related to routers that are not on the default factory subnet – this is the case with mine. This appears to be long-standing and well-documented bug, so I don’t know why the issue has not been corrected by ASUS firmware update.)
- A phone conversation with ASUS Level 2 tech support provided no resolution. They requested that I submit my syslog, which I did not do, because I don’t have a good understanding of what information within that syslog should be kept private for security/privacy reasons. Is it safe to share syslog with ASUS?
- ASUS now has a feature called “Guest Network Pro.” I’d like to check this out, because it may contain a setting I can tweak etc. However, I cannot figure out how to access “Guest Network Pro” while logged into my router.
- I am NOT presently running Aimesh, though I would like to, once I get this GUEST network issue figured out!
