Hello, i followed some guides to create vlans for guest wifi also disable access to main lan. But i cannot access the internet from guest wifi using this configuration

Is this a dumb AP configuration at its base, or is this a normal routing config (i.e. is the uplink on the lan or wan)?

If this is a dumb AP, the gateway is invalid here because it is a different subnet relative to your lan.
If it is normal routing, the gateway should be left unpopulated and the DNS servers listed won't do anything, so they should be deleted.

What are these VLANs for? They don't connect anywhere... (even the guest network which is VLAN333 doesn't actually connect anywhere else).

The guest nework subnet is wrong here -- you should keep it as a standard RFC1918 address. This is a public address and will cause problems.

Your guest firewall zone doesn't allow input and there are no supplemental rules to allow DHCP and DNS. Therefore, clients will be unable to get an address. Change the input rule to ACCEPT for now.

Hi, Thank you for your reply

This is a normal routing config.

How can i configure this properly? i deleted all the vlans except 333 for guest.

I changed it to 192.168.10.1

I added rules for dhcp and dns firewall rules like this. Is it ok?

config rule
	option name 'Guest DNS'
	option src 'guest'
	option dest_port '53'
	option target 'ACCEPT'

config rule
	option name 'Guest DHCP'
	list proto 'udp'
	option src 'guest'
	option dest_port '67-68'
	option target 'ACCEPT'

Do you have any plans to connect your guest network with ethernet (for example, if you have a dumb AP or guest wired devices to connect)?

Good.

Yup... those should do the trick.

After you restart your router, does this work?

5

Yes, but i will check if this is working first.
I have another wired device that needs to run on another vlan on that dumb AP but also plan to extend this guest wifi as well

6

This setup is now working, thank you so much for your help.
if i want to expose a printer in the guest wifi, what should i do? should i separate the printer within its own vlan and then add a static route from guest network to printer's network? also adjust firewall rules to make it detectable from guest wifi?
