RT-N66U - YazFi - No YazFi tab showing in guest network

[Michumichu39]

Hey there. I'm new to Yazfi so apologies if there is something obvious I'm missing.

I'm running an RT-N66U with Johns Custom Fork Firmware 3.0.0.4.374.43_49E4j9527. I installed Yazfi because I use pihole on my network and I wanted to seclude guests on the guest network with their own vlan subnet, so as to protect/isolate my main network, but still allow guests access to pihole on my main network for ad blocking.

So far I've got Yazfi installed and configured using /jffs/scripts/YazFi and then selecting option 3 to edit the config and then started YazFi with option 1 - yet in the web UI for the router I do not see a Yazfi tab under Guest Network but I do see a new tab called Addons underneath the tools selection on the left. What am I missing? Curiously when I connect to my guest network with my phone to test the VLAN subnet and DNS entries are applied correctly from option 3 but there is no web UI for YazFI in the routers web UI.

Thanks in advance.

John's fork all goes to addons for the webui. Since the tab is there but the page isn't loading, please can you check for errors in the browser console? You can view it by pressing f12

Hey Jack, thanks for your quick response. Looking in the browser console this is the output/error I see:

@Jack Yaz
Not sure how you are using it, but 'wl_info' is only defined for the ARM based routers (AC56, AC68) as part of the closed source wireless driver.

it's used to count the number of bands:

if(wl_info.band2g_support){$j("#table_buttons").before(BuildConfigTable("wl0","2.4GHz Guest Networks"));bands = bands + 1;}
if(wl_info.band5g_support){$j("#table_buttons").before(BuildConfigTable("wl1","5GHz-1 Guest Networks"));bands = bands + 1;}
if(wl_info.band5g_2_support){$j("#table_buttons").before(BuildConfigTable("wl2","5GHz-2 Guest Networks"));bands = bands + 1;}

i'd be surprised if MIPS works at all with YazFi - I have no way of testing it so this could be the start of a game of whack a mole

@Jack Yaz
To be clear, are you saying you aren't sure if the RT-N66U is compatible with YazFi?

Correct. I'll attempt a fix for the WebUI but I don't know if anything else will pop out. If you're happy to test it I will do my best to solve any further issues!

@Jack Yaz
Thanks for the clarification and thank you for your willingness to work on a fix for an older router - I'm happy to test it out and send you console outputs/logs as needed.

Also, for anyone else who stumbles upon this thread in the future, my main goal was to have guests on a separate VLAN subnet with the ability to talk to a pihole on the main VLAN subnet. Even though the web UI isn't functional on the RT-N66U at the time of this posting, using the CLI via to set up YazFi and run it that way achieves that goal even without the accessible web UI (the web UI would just make changing and adjusting options more accessible and click friendly to the end user).

Thank you Jack Yaz for your work on this add-on which has helped many people.

AFAIK YazFI doesn't use VLANs only different subnets.

Note that there is even a YazFi Wiki document that serves as a reference for YazFi and Pi-Hole.

Some of us have been using YazFi for a while now with Pi-Hole.

correct, was going to mention this. it uses ebtables and firewall rules to achieve blocking of traffic

Thank you for pointing that out, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to networking and proper terminology - corrected my post

That's awesome, thank you for linking this

@Jack Yaz bumping this thread - If you wanted to take a shot at getting the gui to show in the RT-N66U I'm more than happy to help with debug logs/console outputs etc, if not I'll just use the CLI. Thanks again.

 

[Jack Yaz]

i'll try and make some time this weekend

please try the below
edit /jffs/scripts/YazFi and change line 37 SCRIPT_BRANCH="master" to read SCRIPT_BRANCH="mips"
save changes and close the file
open YazFi menu, then use option u
this should detect a hotfix and download a new UI page

@Jack Yaz
Thanks for taking a look at this, I used nano from an ssh connection to the router to make the change to line 37 and saved the script; running YazFi menu and choosing option u shows no new version is available. Should I need to reboot the router or anything for this to take effect? Sorry for the delay getting back to you, I was thinking snb would email me if you posted again but alas it did not.

Sorry for the delayed response, kids and night time shenanigans. I forced the update via the CLI yet the web GUI still doesn't load though the console output has changed. Here is what it reads now:
