Now I want to split my home network, one network for my PC, Laptops etc. and one for all the smart home devices.

    Setting up guest networks

    I read the Knowledge article on setting up a guest network and just want to be certain I understand it correctly. While there are two possibilities, a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz guest network, the recommendation is to set up ONLY a 2.4GHz guest network, correct? Many thanx.

    [RT-AC87U running 384.5] 5GHz Guest Network doesn't work

    After being upgraded to 384.5, my RT-AC87U's 5GHz guest network no longer works. The network doesn't show up on any of my devices that are 5GHz capable; it's like it's not even there. The 2.4GHz guest network option still works fine, but before upgrading to 384.5 I used 5GHz guest networks...

    Using VLAN vs. Guest Network on RT-AC66U?

    I’m using the latest ASUS firmware for the AC-66U (3.0.0.4.380.8228), which I don’t believe has VLAN capability. I would like to segment my IoT devices off from the main network for security since these devices usually are weak on security. What would be the downside of using a guest network...

    User script fired on changing guest networks?

    Hello, This is my first post in this forum. It is now three weeks that I am reading many posts here on how to better tailor my RT-AC66U_B1 router (running Asuswrt-Merlin 380.69_2) to my needs. So, piece by piece, I've assembled a quite lenghty firewall-start script and a much smaller nat-script...

    IP Cams on Guest Network or Separate AP

    Just upgraded from an Asus RT-AC66U to an Asus RT-AC3100. I have seven cheap wireless IP cams (Foscam and Wansview) on the network. I noticed that my wireless client list kept changing. Connections seem to be dropping off and being re-added constantly. Also, my System Log was getting new...

    Feature Request: Guest Network Icon

    New to this forum and recently bought a RT-AC88U and love it. I came from a Stock DD-WRT AC1900, but the interface sucked and was very basic. I never got around to loading ddwrt onto it and talked to a co-worker and they recommended Asus and Merlin. So, here I am. Anyway, I have setup and...

    Can't connect to Guest Networks. DHCP issue?

    Wireless clients can connect to the regular 2.4/5 Ghz WiFi networks just fine, but no one can connect to the Guest Networks. I've tried both bands, different keys and encryption settings and just an open network. Doesn't seem to be an authentication issue, more like a DHCP lease issue. DHCP is...
