I have two DIR-655 routers, one is my main router with wireless disabled and the other is setup as a wireless AP only. Been working great for years.
Recently I wanted to enable the guest network feature on the AP. After setting it up I could connect to the guest network, but had no internet. I speculate this is because nothing is connected to the WAN port, so I connected an Ethernet cable to it from a LAN port. Seems to work.
Question is did I break some network or security rule by connecting the WAN port on the AP to a LAN port? The intent here was to have a separate network for IOT devices only.
