    Best way to configure intranet "levels of trust" on both ethernet and WLAN? (with multiple routers)

    I currently have two RT-AX88U devices. The basement one has Asuswrt-Merlin, the other is stock (but I could easily put Merlin on it, too). The RT-AX88U ("Router 1") in the basement is directly connected to the WAN (and a number of rooms in the house by ethernet). The RT-AX88U ("Router 2") on the...

    Guest Network Access to HP9010e AIO

The printer is connected to the correct wireless as is the client...

    ZenWifi XT8 custom DNS for Guest network

    Haven't found any answers to this out there, but is it possible to assign a custom DNS setting to a Guest network on the ZenWifi XT8 router? The only place I see where a custom DNS can be set is under the WAN setting, but this is global, meaning it affects all the networks. I don't see a...

    Hello. I have a device connected to Guest network #1 (192.168.101.0/24 subnet) which I’d like to reach from my PC (192.168.1.134). Is this possible? Maybe with some forwarding rules or with something else? Thanks!

    Asus Merlin guest password not working

    Lately my guest network password isn't recognized as correct. I tried on several computers, and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. It used to work perfectly, but at some point after an update or reset, it stopped working. I use WPA2-personal AES and a 12 character password. The normal network works fine. I...

    Guest Networks - Schedule

    Hi folks, I'm trying to work out how I can create schedules on the Guest Networks to toggle them on/off during certain days/times. My kids are driving me nuts with it and they can easily get around the parental controls with MAC address spoofing etc. Instead, they are going to have their own...

    [bug] aimesh client list not updating for devices on guest network

    I have an AIMesh system with two routers: RT-AC86U is the main (running firmware 3.0.0.4.386_48260), and an RT-AC68U as an AIMesh node (running firmware 3.0.0.4.386_48262). My problem is that when I view the list of wireless devices connected to each AIMesh node (via...

    Any way to disable protected management frames on guest networks?

    Since 386.5, I've ran into some compatibility issues with protected management frames on a IoT device. Completely disabling it resolves the issues, but then I cannot use WPA3. I just had to reconfigure a lot of devices back to WPA2 just to get the problematic device to work again. I tried...

    Isolate IP cameras

    I recently posted a related thread on SuperUser, but thought I'd post a modified version here to get advice specific to Asuswrt-Merlin. I'm planning to install a home surveillance system consisting of 7 PoE cameras recording 24/7 to my HTPC. I figured since my HTPC stays on 24/7, there's no...

    YazFi How to test IP address assignment for guest network?

    I am using YazFi to assign guests to a unique IP address range (192.168.20.x) so guests can be routed to my WAN connection directly, bypassing my VPN. This appears to be working as expected, but I notice a potential issue when testing. I wonder if this is simply a consequence of how I'm...
