I've been trying to set up an isolated guest WiFi with no success on my WRT1900AC V1. I do have a virtual AP working, but I cannot figure out how to isolate it from devices on the wired (Ethernet) network, nor how to give it a different subnet.

The instructions in the DD-WRT Wiki - https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Guest_Network - point to fields that don't exist in the UI, most notably in the "Prior to 23020" section, the Setup -> Network bridges don't have any way to assign them to a different subnet.

So, how do I do this? I presume it is possible.

My configuration:
WRT 1900AC V1, running r45690, AP + gateway (PPOE)
dnsmasq for DHCP server
Not much else running on the device except YaMon3

How to VLAN tag WAN traffic for ISP on WRT1900AC v1 - SOLVED

VLAN success on WRT1900ACSv2, WRT3200ACM, et al.

Edit: Oops, you are looking for unbridged VAP. The wiki is old, but there should be forum threads about it.

Here is one example, but unfortunately eibgrad's posts have been deleted.

Those are great resources!

Here's one more, from when I took a crack at an updated walk through the topic not long ago. Third post at https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1217070

Ah - I think I see what I was missing: set to "unbridged". Then I start seeing the IP address fields & so forth.

I had presumed I needed "bridged" in order to get WAN access, but it appears from the various links helpful folks have posted that this is not the case.

Thank you all.

EDIT: Works like a charm, it's exactly what I needed. Thanks guys!
