Again guest wifi on dumb AP

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi, I'm a bit frustrated aftere 2 weeks of trying...
topology:

VDSL ------- tp link Archer VR1210 modem router wifi stock(192.168.1.1) ------- td w8970(wlan + guest) (192.168.1.82 static) (192.168.2.1 dhcp)

I saved from brick my tp link td w8970 stock modem router with openwrt.
I installed 22.03.5 to make a simple WLAN access point to extend my WLAN with same subnet of my cable LAN.
All perfect.

Now I want to add a guest wifi on this router on different subnet using the w8970.
I made a tons of trying with all diferent guides, but every guide is different (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/guestwifi/start)
and using different openwrt web gui. In some guide there are vague notations about difference in firewall settings.

my problems: with some test I obtain the ip in guest subnet, but never internet access.
To have internet I have to bridge to other device but then I lost firewall isolation rules.

sorry for my errors, I did firstboot maybe.. 10 times :wink:

There are several errors and I'm not sure I found them all.
Run this and if it still doesn't work, repost the configs.

uci add network device
uci set network.@device[-1].name='br-guest'
uci set network.@device[-1].type='bridge'
uci del network.guest.gateway
uci del network.guest.dns
uci set network.guest.device='br-guest'
uci set firewall.@zone[1].masq='1'
uci set firewall.@forwarding[1].dest='lan'
uci del firewall.@rule[10].src_port
uci del firewall.@rule[10].src_ip
uci set firewall.@rule[10].proto='udp'
uci set firewall.@rule[10].dest_port='53'
uci commit

Allow forwarding from Guest to LAN?

Enable Masquerading on the LAN zone?

Wrong gateway?

5

You know the default gateway must be on the same subnet, right?

6

Yes of course I was mistaken this gateway with the DHCP gateway for the guest clients (not used to reading uci it is like the matrix for me, I find looking at config files much easier, but that is probably just me)

@pavelgl
thanks, with your few lines all is working.

why do you remove firewall rule on port 53?
now i'm looking for my errors and maybe I forgot every time to restart (or LUCI restart automagically?)

Not removed, just fixed.

You must use the destination port, not the source port.

Specifying a (source) subnet requires CIDR notation and you missed the suffix.

It does if you use the "Save & Apply" button.
