Hello,
I have a main router.
On my LAN (private), I would like add another router with dd-wrt.
On this second router, I would like to:
- use ethernet ports to devices to my private LAN
- a private wireless access point
- a guest access point isolated from private one with internet access
as I know it is older, but I have saw it mentioned many times. _________________ Tutorial for flashing WRT series WRT Installation,Upgrade & Basic Setup–Cliff Notes

Check the IP settings for a device connected to your guest wifi and post the details (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server address). Also post the ip details of your main router
My private LAN parameter (from my main router) are:
Main router IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.254
DNS: 192.168.0.254
A device on my guest network:
IP: 192.168.10.147
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.10.1
DNS: 192.168.10.1

One last point, I hope you made corrections to thetutorial that you followed, to take into account that the tutorial instructions are for a Netgeat router, and yous is a Atheros based router.
No I didn't made any correction.
Please, can you tell me what correction should I had to do ?
------------------------------------------------
By writin my main ip config, I realized that I never used my main router gateway and DNS address in the ddwrt config.
So I checked in Setup->Basic Setup->Network Setup->Router IP, and both gateway and DNS was set to main router IP (192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.0.254).
After changing these settings, it works!!!!!!
Thanks for asking me what is my ip config?
I'm still interested to know what correction should I had to do.
Please can you explain me differences between settings in Setup->Networking and direct config in VAP?
From what ddwrt version your method is the prefered one?
Thanks
From the link I gave you:
Quote:
WNDR3700v4 is using build 30082 (07/01/16)
E2500v1 using build k3.x 30605 (09/09/16) --- K3.x and above should work fine with this method.
That was written over a year ago but all should be the same.
I suggest using a new or fairly recent build.
NOTE: some TP-Link routers have had many problems with last couple dd-wrt public releases.
You should read new build threads in the atheros forum.
I understand there should be a new release today that should fix many of the TP-Link problems.
You should use the unbridged method in wireless settings to setup a wireless interface on a different subnet.
The settings on the Networking page will reflect what you put in on the wireless page.
. . . . . .
If you wanted to combine interfaces onto one separate subnet you would leave the wireless interfaces
as the default 'bridged' in wireless settings and create a bridge (br1) on the Networking page.
You could then:
assign any wireless interface or vlan to the br1 so they could share a common subnet.
