Here comes a short guide on how to setup a Virtual Guest AP. In build 23020 I added an option to isolate guest wifis from local network. This along with my fix for unbridged vifs allows to setup a guest wifi with only a few clicks. The following image shows the Wireless->Basic Setup page. In order to create a virtual access point, for your guests, click on Add in Virtual Interfaces section. Now fill out the details for this guest wifi. The labels in red give you a short explanation what these settings are for.
Once you are done go to Wireless->Wireless Security, choose your encryption scheme and password for this guest wifi. Next step is to enable DHCPD for the guest wifi. Go to Setup->Networking and add another dhcp server for the guest network as shown in the following image.

Attached see my settings. What is strange, after i click on "apply settings" the "advanced settings" is unmarked... strange...
I'm in a similar situation using build 24461. I posted a thread here, but haven't received any replies yet.
My guest interface is set up on ath0.1 as above. The guest SSID is visible, and the password works, but guests can't get an IP address.
I've found that the problem is solved if I add their MAC address to my wireless MAC address white list. Only then can they connect to the guest SSID. This shouldn't be the case, and I'm trying to find a way around it. Also, net isolation isn't working for me; I can connect to the router and other places on the main SSID from the guest network.
i have a much different router but maybe this will help.
Settings under wireless: advanced
network unbridged
net isolation enabled
masquarade / nat enabled
ip address
192.168.2.1 ( different network than normal one in setup this is to seperate the guest and regular network )
netmask:

under setup : networking
multi dhcp server
ath0.1
on 100 10 lease 3600
