ASUS RT-BE92U

I might try that.

Can I configure the guest SSID so that it is on the same subnet as the main SSID and without any isolation? (I am trying to cater to both modern and legacy devices that might want to talk to each other. I am aware of the security implications.)

Yes, that is how I have mine configured until my kids leave after Christmas. I will then tinker with an isolated subnet and see how the “smart” devices behave.

Then use the main 2.4GHz network/SSID for your older clients. Why additional Guest Network?

Some “smart” devices won’t work on anything other than WPA2 (not WPA2/WPA3).

There is no much point of WPA2/WPA3 mixed anyway. Mixed Wi-Fi 4/5/6/7 network is a total mess.

As I said in my original post, I want one SSID that is 2.4GHz only (for older clients) and another SSID that is 2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz with Smart Connect.

The current Web interface does not allow me to do this. Unless I create a guest network, apparently.

In this case - obviously. You can't have more than one main 2.4GHz networks on any Asus router.

There`s not really much of a distinction between "main" and "guest" networks with 3006.102.37xxx. You create as many networks as you want, each with the security settings and the bands that you want.

That's why the section was renamed to simply "Networks" instead of "Guest Networks".

That`s basically the idea behind the default IoT network. It's a 2.4 GHz network that has most compatibility-related settings set to the most compatible one.

Forgot about the new way. This is the correct logic. Did RT-BE92U get to this point? I see the last firmware is the security updates release.

The current Web interface does not allow me to do this.
