I'm new to ASUS Routers and their config. I have a new RT-N66U. My main issue is that even though I've created and enabled a guest network, it will become disabled on its own without any power issues, router resets, etc. It's happened multiple times today for no apparent reason. Also, instead of having a "Create" button to create a guest network, my buttons are called "enable". Strange isn't it? The user manual also shows "Create" buttons.
Another setup question ... I'm on the inside of a wired router and simply am using the Asus RT-N66U to provide two wireless SSIDs. One secured and one Open. I have the secured setup as the 2.4Ghz SSID and the guest network created and open. The secured 2.4Ghz SSID works as expected. It is only the guest network that continues being disabled on its own.
Should I be changing the router mode from router to WAP? If so, what changes do I need to make so it will work as needed? Currently, I have NAT and firewall turned off and have the IP address set to a IP on the same scheme but the last octet to a IP that is NOT in the wired router's dhcp scope. So, scope is 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199. Asus router LAN IP is 192.168.1.253.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
