    Setting up Guest Network (Separate Subnet?)

    An Access Point gets its security from the port it is plugged into. That means that all wireless and wired ports on the Access Point have the same access to the local network and Internet. The Guest wireless in Access Point mode on the Asus is only there the enable you to quickly...

    Allow connections to certain devices on guest network

    I don't know about attempting it all on one router, but maybe this thread would do what you want with a second wireless access point plugged into port 4. Remember an Access Point gets the access permissions of the port it is plugged into. So all Wifi SSIDs on the access point will be on the...

    ho to get rid of DHCPINFORM calls

    You need to take your own advice to update. If you check the change log in README-merlin.txt. at https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/blob/master/README-merlin.txt You will find this issue was not resolved until 374.43 and there have been many security patches since the version your...

    SECURITY: LAN-side security hole - mitigation

    You are correct. I just blindly created the firewall-start without checking a reboot. Now I have moved it to the file services-start (merlin can you confirm this the best place) The logger command puts an entry into the system log to tell me the file was executed. #!/bin/sh logger...

    SECURITY: LAN-side security hole - mitigation

    Yes to both questions. Normal for AP mode empty rules, and firewall needed since infosvr is running. If in doubt, run "netstat -na | grep 999" and if you see port 9999 listening, you need to block access to it to protect that Asus device.

    Guest network: cannot edit

    "Enable" getting the old settings is a feature to allow turning off/on guest access with minimum bother. If you notice, when you put the cursor over the Network Name (SSID) of the guest you just enabled, it will underline all the fields. Click, and you should be happy <smile>

    Enable guest network with FIOS Setup

    I suspect that you assigned a static IP address to the Asus, without setting the gateway and a DNS server. On the Asus, in "Network Map", click on the world icon in the "AP Mode" box. On the right side you will see the current settings for the Internet access from within the Asus AP. The...

    Enable guest network with FIOS Setup

    For Asus Routers "Guest" has a special meaning. The instructions you followed starting "Next, set up your router as secondary" are for an ordinary router. With Asus routers you can change device operation mode. Go to the administration setting, and select "Access Point(AP) mode" and the...

    AC56U how to add bridges with DHCP servers?

    I stopped reading there because the rest appears to be implementation details and I asked for the problem description. From the above problem... I assume MOCA is ethernet over coax. To extend the main wireless without speed penalty, you just need a wireless access point connected to the...
