I saw there were two methods. I tried the easy one first and immediately noticed I had no option to pick Wireless Mode on the virtual network. So, I installed the latest firmware via the web upgrade to my Archer C9v1, DD-WRT v3.0-r44251 std (08/27/20).
I went back to add the virtual network and...still no Wireless Mode.
I looked over the second method and sure enough, that UI matches my UI.
So, does anyone have any ideas why that option isn't showing for me?

there are 4 things you need to do:
1) add a virtual network - make sure to choose Unbridged in the network configuration and fill the IP address, and choose net isolation as enabled --> save
2) go to wireless security and choose the correct security and password --> save --> apply --> reboot
3) go to setup --> networking, scroll to the bottom, the last network configuration make sure everything all set.
4) same place DHCPD, add a new one (if one exists use that one) and choose the correct interface on the drop down menu, also start and max clients --> save --> apply --> reboot _________________ Netgear R9000 main router

And no, you can't choose a wireless mode separately for a virtual interface. If wifi interface ath0 (the 5GHz wifi for Atheros-hardware routers) is set for AC/N-Mixed, that's what will be used as well for ath0.1, ath0.2, etc. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.

Ahh, yes, I remember this at the beginning of my journey! It was one of the first things I tried. This does list the SSID in my list of networks, but it does not allow me to connect to it. No prompt for password, nothing. I click it and nothing happens.
That led me down the NAT rabbit hole where I decided to bail and come here for advice.
