For the setup using the wiki, should i be specifying two separate subnets for 2.4Ghz guest network and 5Ghz guest network? Wouldn't this be a problem if I want to have them set to same SSID [both wl0.1 and wl1.1 set to SSID 'dd-wrt_guests' for instance]?

@Briefcase yes you’re correct. That’s exactly the portion of code that I’ve reverted. Seems to work for for the Northstar prototype boards whereas the latest code broke all the VIF configuration.
BrainSlayer denied that those codes are the root cause tho. He claims that newer drivers configured the MAC addresses using the new algorithm but it doesn't look right to me tho. The old codes looks correct.
quarkysq thanks for your solution it worked on my configuration on a R7000 I'm testing with Build 37715M (was on 36070M). I read that Kong and others don't have a problem with when using a "simple" unbridged VAP. But this is not practical for me and probably others when using VAPs with VLANs. All my VAPs are Bridged to VLANs and the changset 36366 breaks the way I need the networks with VAPs. I hope the Developers reconsider.
Thanks. _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone

Netgear R6400v1, DD-WRT v3.0-r37715M kongac (11/14/18)
Same issue as others; want to bridge together a 2.4GHz VAP and a 5GHz VAP, but couldn't connect/authenticate to VAPs that are bridged together. VAPs work in unbridged mode, but that puts the 2.4GHz VAP and the 5GHz VAP are in different subnets.
Using quarkysg's wlconf, I can successfully connect to the bridged VAPs.
Use case for bridging both VAPs: using QoS to throttle both VAPs at once, instead of throttling each VAP independently. It also simplifies firewall rules.
That’s how I use VAPs as well, bridged to the main bridge. I would think almost all typical users will use it as it is, I.e bridged to the main bridge interface. Expecting a typical users to configure the VAP in unbridged mode is a bit too much of an ask.
Therein lies the issues that needed to be looked into and fixed.
@Quarkysg, I use your patched wlconf (and your patched shortcut-fe.ko module) on my Netgear R6400v2 with the latest Kong build 37715 and can confirm that it works, without it I can not connect to the VAP, with the patched wlconf it starts to work.
@Quarkysg:
I too spent some time with my router R6400v2 (same one as egc) on 37715 and here's my config, followed by my observations:
2.4GHz + wl0.1 + wl0.2
5GHz + wl1.1
SSID1 in OpenDNS (Only 2.4GHz and not using VAP) ...in br1
SSID2 in Open VPN (5GHz + wl0.1) ... in br0
SSID3 direct to internet/ISP (wl0.2 + wl0.1) ...in br2
Following lines in startup:
sleep 10
stopservice nas
stopservice wlconf
/opt/wlconf/wlconf eth1 up
/opt/wlconf/wlconf eth2 up
startservice nas
This is working for a few hours and has lasted a few reboots. Twice I noticed that wl0.2 was vanishing and reappearing on WiFi Analyzer (Android phone). I manually ran your lines on telnet but this behaviour seemed to persist.
EDIT/ADD: Observed with various permutations. Put wl0.2 in all bridges - this is not very stable. Vanishes and reappears. _________________ PROFESSIONAL STUDENT my.Mistakes ∝ my.Learning ... provided I have the patience & persistence to learn
for me bridged VAP works again on latest Kong build.
Which build?
Which Router?
With or without Quarky's patch? _________________ PROFESSIONAL STUDENT my.Mistakes ∝ my.Learning ... provided I have the patience & persistence to learn
THANX.
Will try it now without wasting any time _________________ PROFESSIONAL STUDENT my.Mistakes ∝ my.Learning ... provided I have the patience & persistence to learn
