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

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 _________________ 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.
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!
