How to bridge 2 wireless networks? (on single device)

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi

I want to create dual band guest network using this tutorial

It works fine, until I create next 5GHz network and assign it to my Guests interface.

It looks like Guests interface can only have one network at time, how Can I bridge 2.4GHz and 5GHz then assign that bridge to guests interface?

Forgot to mention this: I have done this thing succesfully on 21.02, but for some reason I can't do that on 23.05. My device is GL.iNet GL-B1300

Create an empty bridge device like br-guest. Use the device in the network interface config, and then you should be able to use 2 or more radios.

config device
	option type 'bridge'
	option name 'br-guest'

config interface 'guest'
	option proto 'static'
	option device 'br-guest'
ā€¦

For some reason It didn't worked for first time, but now It works.

Thanks anyway :wink:

EDIT: I know what I did wrong previously

I already had both guest networks and interface created. I wanted to move both guest networks to bridge at one time.

This time It probably worked because I had one network, created a bridge, moved that network, and then created second WiFi network and moved it to guest zone.
