The last week I’m running 3.0.0.6_102_/.. 34336 my. I’ve created vlans for Wi-Fi and one with port isolation. Works well. I’m connected to the 802.1Q with a number I got from my ISP and works flawless for internet and IPTV. I did a dive into the priority levels for 802.1P (QOS) and standard it’s p0. I also tried 3/4 and 7 but I couldn’t notice any difference in video streaming or latency etc. My ISP is using unicast. Does it make any sense to set this priority number or leave it to zero, best effort? Just curious..

Got one Pro router home to play with Asuswrt 5.0 today. Question about the VLANed networks - it allows one VLAN network per SSID only? So if I want to have Main Network, Guest Network, Kids Network, IoT Network, etc. - 4x different SSIDs? I don't see an option for private keys. @bbunge @OzarkEdge

Right - No option for private keys.

Nothing says you can't use the same SSID for more than one VLAN/GN. Or disable the radio for the GN and assign the VLAN to a LAN port.

It has a bug?

in configuring openvpn, the ip range is not overlapping still it shows an error.

Go back to the default LAN subnet of 192.168.50.0/24 and you will not have a conflict. And double check your use of a /30 subnet.

Can not understand why you would use a Class A address on a SOHO router. 253 IP addresses should be enough for 99.9% of home users. If you need more addresses there are creative things you can do.

Nothing says you can't use the same SSID for more than one VLAN/GN.

In this case the router has no way to determine which clients belongs to GN1 and which ones to GN2. Interesting backwards logic, by the way. You start with a radio and build networks on top. On most VLAN capable routers you start with a network and attach a radio to it. VPN Fusion follows the same logic - you start with all clients in and have the option to exclude some. Common logic is you start with interface and add clients to it. Not sure why Asus did it this way. More user friendly perhaps when you first have this available? Probably. I'll play with it some more tomorrow.

Let us know if you have any success with non Asuswrt 5.0 Nodes getting all the Guest Wifi/VLANs, ta .

[EDIT] Edited to clarify not just GN1 but all GNs (eg IoT VLAN).

 

[Sonyrolfy]

GN works for me with a AC86u. I did setup the mesh node with a “standard” 2.4ghz and 5ghz ssid. The wifi devices (IOT 2.4Ghz) to the mesh node belongs to the GN with vpn, lower than 70db. The “standard “ ssid’s 2.4 is hidden on the AX86Pro. Only one standard ssid for the 5ghz with no GN. In the end I have only 2 ssid’s visible but I did setup the mesh with the now hidden 2.4ghz ssid.

Just updated..rock solid!!!

Can I set up ASUS cloud data synchronization with a disk connected to the router, and where?

In the RT-AX86U router, there was such an option in the ASUS CLOUD 2.0 tab (but I had the RT-AX86U router 6 months ago)

Some more commentary on the 3.0.0.6.102_x firmware on a RT-AX86U Pro. Even though the Name and IP fields for a Guest Network Pro Custom client that is listed on the Network Map page may be editable, you cannot actually make any change to the either value. If you change the Name and hit the Apply button, the name reverts back. If you change the IP address it throws a "not a valid IP address" error message when hitting Apply, and reverts back to the IP address assigned by the router.

Good news is at least it appears you can change the default Guest Network Pro client network map icon to something else and it will stick after selecting the Apply button. The following image shows the icon changed from default to IP Camera.

 

[bennor]

Another bug. Have LED's turned off. Yet when occasionally making a change in the router GUI, occasionally a single front LED (5Ghz) becomes active and stays on until the LED on/off is cycled from off to on then back to off which then turns off that single LED.

I get this as well, restarting the router results in the same, it’s been the same for many firmware versions and mentioned previously. Not a major issue, but annoying all the same. Thankfully the router is rock solid for me, so rare that I need to restart it.
