    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    It's strange as it works on my RT-AC68U running in AP mode with the vlan to ssid config as per the posts above and an isolated wired port belonging to the guest vlan. Not worth doing either IMO, if it still doesn't work after you've tried all else you can always create an extra wired only vlan...

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    It happens that the DHCP lease needs to be renewed when an end device picks up a wrong (while making configuration changes) or self assigned IP. EDIT: there is a possibility of the machine picking up a wrong IP if it boots at the same time as the AP and it makes its DHCP request before the...

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    It's probably because you were making the changes so the machine couldn't get an IP and it used a self assigned IP. This shouldn't happen in normal operations once the configuration is settled. I'd leave it with your latest config, reboot the machine and monitor it.

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    Yes the robocfg vlan 1 line needs to be there if you want the port isolated to just one vlan. This robocfg show looks good and it should work.

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    It shouldn't make a difference whether the port is in the same vlan as the wifi bridge or on one of its own. Can you post robocfg show after a reboot?

    Asus rt-ac56u: Last Merlin firmware 2 years ago, time to replace?

    Good advice. I wish John's fork supported my RT-AC87U which is also no longer supported by Merlin firmware.

    WiFi Vlan on AC3100

    It isn't supported officially (eg. through the GUI) but it can be done from the CLI using custom scripts. It's a question that comes up often and there are many threads on the subject, if you run a few searches you'll find how to do it. As you have an opnsense firewall you could run your AC3100...

    Roaming assistant question

    I'm not assuming anything, I have 2 models on which RA doesn't work (at least on the 5 GHz radios which is where I want it, I only use the 2.4 GHz on my main router for IOT and guest devices), you have 2 models on which it works, so by logic it's model or firmware specific (Asus closed source...

    How long before AC3200 is "unsafe"?

    Based on RMerlin's input from other threads, it does look like Merlin 384.13_10 is the end of the road for the RT-AC3200 and the RT-AC87U. If your router is working fine I'd wait a few months before buying a new one since RMerlin may add support for more AX models once the migration to the new...

    Roaming assistant question

    It isn't a matter of understanding since, as you can see on the images posted above, clients well below the configured RSSI threshold aren't being disconnected like Roaming Assistant should do. See the below logs from this post showing Roaming Assistant at work, none of this is ever showing on...

    Roaming assistant question

    I've never used Smart Connect as my boxes don't support it but for Roaming Assistant I'm sure it'll disconnect a client regardless of any fallback AP. It used to work on my RT-AC87U, I tested it when I first got the router and played with all the WiFi settings, back then I didn't have my...

    Roaming assistant question

    Expecting users to understand what an option does when it's written clearly and in their own language is reasonable. Users configure their own routers after all, it's not like Asus ships them already configured or sends their representatives to do it. I don't know, maybe it's because it doesn't...

    Roaming assistant question

    The WiFi professional configuration page clearly says Disconnect clients with RSSI lower than x dBm on this option so people who enable it should know what to expect. When it works it does what it says on the tin and yes it would disconnect a client even if it had no other AP to connect to. The...

    Roaming assistant question

    When it works, Roaming Assistant doesn't just encourage a client to roam but it actually disconnects it if it falls below the configurable RSSI threshold so that it will reconnect to an AP with a better RSSI. However it doesn't work, at least on some models, as per the images posted. I doubt...

    Roaming assistant question

    Roaming assistant doesn't work for me either, not only on my RT-AC87U router but also on my RT-AC68U AP running 384.19, so it's not model or firmware specific. I have it set on my RT-AC68U 5GHz radio to disconnect clients at -65dBm but as per the wireless log there's a client connected at...

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    Yep, the most important parts for it to work are the ones above the nvram set lines.

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    Yeah it looks ok, just the nvram set lan1_ifname should be nvram set lan2_ifname for the second bridge interfaces. nvram set lan2_ifnames="vlan202 wl0.2" nvram set lan2_ifname="br2"

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Does your router have active guest wifi SSID's? As you laptop may have automatically connected to one of those if it had it saved since you last tested it, which would prevent it from communicating with the router while still having Internet access. Just an idea.

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    Yeah Realtek NICs have a reputation of not so great VLAN support. By the way, just the robocfg line should in fact be enough for this to work, you can try it after you've sorted your PC's NIC. robocfg vlan 199 ports "0t 4t"

    wanted: vlan for AC56U in AP-Mode

    It depends on how you want it to work. Is VLAN 199 wired only and just extending between the virtual machine and your pfSense box? Or do you also need it to be bridged to a guest wifi SSID on the AP? In the first case it's very easy, you just need to create a VLAN 199 and assign it to ports 0...
