Not compatible with RT-AX82U ?

[Jey]

Hi

I have a problem with my RT-AX82U (stock firmware but the last one). The GUEST WIFI network is on the LAN network (all devices can see each others and connect on it, all are on the same subnet IP).
I discover this 2 years later! It's a crazy problem.
I don't find any explanation and solution, but I found someone speaking about MERLIN, that I didn't know.

Unfortunatly, it seems there is no version of Merlin for my WIFI AP : https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Supported-Devices

Do you know if in the future it could change?

Thanks
Jey

There is Asuswrt-Merlin fork available for your router:

GitHub - gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng: Extends the support of Merlin firmware to more ASUS routers

Extends the support of Merlin firmware to more ASUS routers - gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng

github.com

If your router is in AP Mode though - no Guest Network separation.

Thanks for the link!!

Ah, so it's this... Yes I'm in AP mode.

Do you know if MErlin can provide a real Guest network in AP mode?

The same as in stock Asuswrt.

If you use something like pfSense/OPNsense as your main router/firewall a proper AP with VLAN support is the way to go.

Nop, just a simple 4G router.

In this case perhaps running your own router in Router Mode is the better option. In AP Mode you lose almost all available features on it.
