I setup a guest network on my 5 GHz radio using kong's guide but I am unable to connect to it. DD-WRT seems to reject my password which I have carefully verified as matching the one I am using for the guest SSID. I tried changing the password on DD-WRT several times with the same behavior.

Note that I can connect to my non-guest wifi just fine.

I don't see anything in the DD-WRT /var/log/messages when I try to connect. Is there another place I can look?

The error log from my laptop when I try:
Code:

It should work

I've used the same guide on 2 separate routers successfully

Is guest set up on different subnets? It should be

Are you sure the security mode is correct type?

I use "WPA2 Personal" & WPA Algorithms are "AES"

Not sure if it'll help or not

In the webif on the Services tab under "Additional DNSMasq Options" add "log-dhcp" for more info in the log

@dr_k - Yes, they are on separate subnets. As well, I am using "WPA2 Personal" and "AES" ... I do have 2 virtuals: one for 2.4GHz and another for 5GHz. I deleted the one on 5GHz for now so I just have the one... let's see if that makes any difference.

Number of virtual interfaces should not matter as long as each has it's own subnet & DHCP Server

I've had one on each band in the past with no issue

As a new test I just reread kong's guide and configured my WNDR3400v1 dd-wrt.v3.0-r35531_mega-nv64k (03/26/18 ) setup as a gateway....

It worked as described... I did do a save & apply between the configured pages & it didn't work till a reboot

I know the guide is short but re confirm all your settings

Not optimal but try turning wireless security off for virtual interface as a test

It's not the build as I have it working on a kong build older and newer then yours

This sounds like a cop out but dare I suggest a erase nvram might be due?

I am having the exact same issue on my R7000.

"Kong's guide" seems to be unavailable. I have tried the wiki instructions with DNSmasq first then DHCPd, and this old simple guide.

Did you ever get this working?

I finally got this working, and all I had to do was use the latest beta build, r41664 (12/06/19).
