Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 Beta is now available

[MDM]

Not there on my router, only the ap isolation feature. No idea why this button is missing. But as bennor wrote it seems to do nothing at all even if it's there?

Your screenshot is from an AX86?

Try selecting Customized Network, and/or first delete all you have...

You have my signature for the model .

 

[chris.at]

No signature in mobile view, but thx for the hint, saw it now. Different model, so maybe that's the cause. Also not there in custom network after creation. No idea...

 

[bluepoint]

Makes sense, but there is no such button in the AX86U-Pro (or I'm blind).

You probably need to enable same as main network subnet to have the option offered.

There is, just flip your phone horizontally...

Not because of model, read what bennor said.
So delete all, restart router, and then try again.

No, mine is on different subnet.

 

[bluepoint]

No, mine is on different subnet.

NVM I taught I was responding to chris.at

 

[MDM]

That's why you don't have the option. You can try to delete the GN profile then recreate the GN with same subnet and see if the option appears.

You confused my with chris.at, it was as response to you (and him) that I have it even then...

No signature in mobile view,

You have to use landscape mode.

When you initially setup the Guest Network did you enable or disable the option Use same subnet as main network that is under the More Config section? If that option is disabled then you might not see the option Access Intranet once the Guest Network is created.

 

[chris.at]

Thank you guys, so obviously still a bit buggy at least on AX86U-Pro. But that's the reason we test the beta.

Initially it was enabled, actually it's not (also a mess that you can't change this afterwards btw). But on the other custom one it's enabled and also missing. Can't test it now, it's main tv time here

That's the issue...

(also a mess that you can't change this afterwards btw)

Yes you can - manually.

 

[bennor]

Yes that was the trick. The file name had to be "dnsmasq-sdn.postconf" nothing anything else. Permissions set on file to 0755. Now it seems to be properly loading the names into dnsmasq in my use case for both Guest Network Pro SDN's I have. Example code:

#!/bin/sh
CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh
pc_append "dhcp-host=AA:11:BB:22:CC:33,192.168.52.10,JohnSmithPhone" $CONFIG
pc_append "dhcp-host=AA:11:BB:22:CC:33,192.168.52.11,JaneSmithPhone" $CONFIG
pc_append "dhcp-host=AA:11:BB:22:CC:33,192.168.53.10,SuziQPhone" $CONFIG
pc_append "dhcp-host=AA:11:BB:22:CC:33,192.168.53.11,JonnysPhone" $CONFIG

Not sure why but after using the dnsmasq-sdn.postconf script to add manual reservations I started seeing the log file spammed with entries like the following:

Removed the /jffs/scripts/dnsmasq-sdn.postconf file and went back to using /jffs/configs/dnsmasq-1.conf.add and /jffs/configs/dnsmasq-2.conf.add to add my Guest Network Pro manual IP reservations to dnsmasq. Errors seems to have gone away. I assume the issue was with how the dnsmasq-sdn.postconf was scripted. Pure wag but maybe has to do with CONFIG=$1 in the script and needing CONFIG=$2 at the start of the 2nd SDN's group of manual IP reservations. Or maybe not. Shrugs.

Let me ask, why are you manually editing files? Can't you assign IPs under GNP in the Advanced Settings? I have this

Let me ask, why are you manually editing files? Can't you assign IPs under GNP in the Advanced Settings?

Not sure why OP does it, but that's how I had to do it to set hostnames for GNs before 3006 (don't care about ip reservations). I already had the file, just had to rename it (and split it into two).

 

[bennor]

Let me ask, why are you manually editing files? Can't you assign IPs under GNP in the Advanced Settings?

First, didn't know they added that capability to the Guest Network Pro Preset. I missed seeing that feature in the Asus-Merlin 3006 beta firmware (don't even remember seeing it mentioned in the alpha). I've read a number of the Asus router FAQ/support pages on Guest Network Pro and didn't see that capability highlighted or explained. This is one of the big problems with Guest Network Pro, things are not well documented or explained by Asus. So thanks for pointing that out.

Second, the feature appears to be limited to 32 clients on my router so that may present an issue if one has more than 32 GNP clients to add. Which some likely do. Another reason is simplicity sake. Was easy to just copy the data from 3004 to 3006 by copying in the data to the dnsmasq-snd.conf.add configuration file(s) or dnsmasq-sdn.postconf script file and reboot the router. Rather than tediously entering in the reservations one at a time in the GUI.

The dnsmasq-snd.conf.add and dnsmasq-sdn.postconf provide additional configurability that might not be possible in the stock 3006 firmware. This is the goal of alpha and beta testing, testing things out and push the capabilities. Figure what works and what doesn't.

Those are not errors.

 

[Ripshod]

@bennor at least it's out in the open now - I found it by accident. It'll be helpful for those that want to do this for a few guest devices without directly editing files.

 

[bennor]

@Ripshod, to further go along with my last post. While using the dnsmasq-snd.conf.add file to add manual IP reservations for the Guest Network Pro, those entries are not reflected in the Manually Assign IP around DHCP list option. Have 10 entries in the dnsmasq-1.conf.add file but none are listed in that manually assign GUI option. The GUI does show connected clients (8) in the attached screen capture(s). Edit to add: Assume the GUI has a different method to store the the manually assigned IP info when using that GNP option to manually enter it.
