Dear DD WRT community
I have been experimenting with dd-wrt the last few days. I am running DD-WRT v3.0-r40900 std (09/04/19) on an ASUS RT-AC68U router.
My network setup is the following:
DSL Modem -> pfSense Firewall (APU2) -> dd-wrt as access point (ASUS RT-AC68U)
I have configured the router as a wireless access point using the instructions at https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_Point
Then, I configured 3 different SSIDs: WiFi-Home, WiFi-Guest and WiFi-IoT. Now, I would like to create a different VLAN for the WiFi-Guest network. To achieve this I have taken the following steps:
On the pfSense firewall, I have created the required VLAN (with tag 4 for the guest vlan), the interface and enabled DHCP. On DD-WRT I have configured a VLAN using telnet and the nvram instructions:
| Code: | nvram set vlan1ports="1 2 3 4 5*"
nvram set vlan4ports="1t 5"
nvram set port1vlans="1 4"
nvram set vlan4hwname=et0 |
The ethernet cable is plugged in the Assus router port 1. I have created a new bridge br1 which is assigned to vlan4 and w0.2 (the wireless connection corresponding to the WiFi-Guest SSID).
When I try to connect to the WiFi-Guest network, I simply receive an error message "Can't connect to WiFi". Does anyone have a clue what I might still be missing?
Please note that without the vlan4/br1 configuration, the WiFi-Guest network, works as desired.
Besides hours of trial/error and reading on Google, I am fairly new to DD-WRT. If you have any pointers on how I might debug this, they are really welcome!
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Regards
