Hello all, I'm a long time lurker. Currently running a RT-N66U with Merlin. I'm getting ready to make the move to AC, but I'm looking for a seemingly unique feature.
I'm in the arduous process of setting up an Amahi server. For a variety of reasons Amahi works best if it takes over the DHCP process from the router, which is just fine with me. Except... If you want to enable an isolated guest network, the Amahi server is unable to assign an address. You have to enable LAN access for it to even be seen. Of course.
So... is there an option out there to enable DHCP on the guest network only? Perhaps that isn't even possible?
Ultimately it probably isn't that big of a deal, it's not like I don't trust my friends that log on to the guest network. But I do have a few devices (Nest, WeMo, etc) the I prefer to have isolated from the LAN. I also prefer the shorter password for the guest network (thanks Nest & others for not supporting WPS!).
I'm relatively brand agnostic, although I have become fond of Asus. Familiarity and all that.
TIA,
Kevin
