Hi There,

this is a little too difficult for me to figure out:

I have 3 x R7000 (one MAIN / 2 x client APs) all of them are HARDWIRED to the MAIN ... which connects on the WAN side to my MODEM.

I used this tutorial to get all my APs talking to the MAIN without a problem allowing me to roam and hop from one router to the next transparently:

https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_Point

Once I got everything running ... I wanted to ADD a GUEST-WiFi ... I started using this KONG tutorial (very simple ... for ONE router):

http://tips.desipro.de/2013/12/06/guest-wifi-setup-dd-wrt/

The GUEST Wifi works great on the MAIN router ... but when I try to set it up on the client APs I run into a problem:

The clients get an IP / DNS server etc. ... they can PING within the Guest WiFi ... however I do NOT get access to the WAN side of my main router?!

Please see attached the setting on one of the APs ... what is missing compared to the settings on the MAIN router is:

Code:
Masquerade / NAT [b]Enable[/b]  Disable


Any clues ... what to check / adjust ... to get this working?

When using a different subnet for a VAP on a WAP (i.e. unbridged) I think you also have to do the natting yourself to get internet acces by adding this to the firewall:
Code:
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o br0 -j SNAT --to `nvram get lan_ipaddr`


Not sure though have to ask a real expert Smile

I'm no expert but that's all I use on my WAP which also has VLAN.
Probably shouldn't use Net Isolation on the VLAN & WAP....at least turn it off to see what you have.
Might be better to isolate with other rules.
I don't use it on mine but I only have 2 ports config in the 192.168.1.0 strictly used as a switch for debricking my screwups.
Net Isolation does not always work as you might expect on a WAP or when used if br1,br2, br.. also in the config

That was the missing piece Smile

Once the DNSMasc Options were configured (incl. the IMPORTANT firewall rule for NATTING) ... I got the Guest-WiFi clients connected to the internet:

Code:
interface=wl0.1
interface=wl1.1
dhcp-option=wl0.1,3,10.1.2.1
dhcp-option=wl1.1,3,10.1.5.1
dhcp-range=wl0.1,10.1.2.100,10.1.2.150,255.255.255.0,1h
dhcp-range=wl1.1,10.1.5.100,10.1.5.150,255.255.255.0,1h


Then with the additional firewall rules I made sure all the "Guest" will behave well Smile

Code:
iptables -I FORWARD -i wl0.1 -d `nvram get lan_ipaddr`/`nvram get lan_netmask` -m state --state NEW -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -i wl1.1 -d `nvram get lan_ipaddr`/`nvram get lan_netmask` -m state --state NEW -j DROP
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o br0 -j SNAT --to `nvram get lan_ipaddr`


At the end I think one could have setup a NEW bridge and configure that ... however this was more straight forward ... using many build-in options.

Many thanks to the volunteers, who make the DD-WRT community what it is!
