I hope I am posting in the right section.
I have 3 AX1800 that act as dumb APs, connected via wire to a central router with OpenWRT that serves all the routing functions and the DHCP. I separated the traffic in different VLANS (VLAN 1 and VLAN 3) one for regular traffic and one for guests. The problem is that if a client connects to the guest SSID, it does not get an IP address unless I create a dedicated DHCP for the guest network on each dumb AP (which I do not want, as there is the main router doing DHCP). If I add the dhcp config on each dumb AP, the guests client can connect, but I cannot get to the internet. I have exactly the same set up on another Xiaomi 4A OpenWRT dumb AP and it works flawlessly. I suspect it might have to do with the port allocations on AX1800 and switch config, as I believe I haven’t figured out the ports and interfaces correctly. Would anyone be able to help me out? Thanks
