Currently running on backup router – Archer C7 – no DD-WRT
Problem with guest network = VAP
Router – r7800
Upgraded to r35030M 2/16/18 and then downgraded to r34900M 2/14/18.
On both builds I set up ath0.1 on wireless/basic settings tab. Saved and Applied Settings.
However ath0.1 does not show up on Setup/Networking page.
Cannot add Multiple DHCP Server for ath0.1 as it is not an option.
Considering reverting back to r34320M kongat (01/02/18) where I had ath0.1 set up with no problems.
Any suggestions for getting DD-WRT to recognize ath0.1?
I'm sure I'm overlooking something or setting up something wrong, but I used my previous successful setup as an example to set up the new software. _________________ R7800 r53339 std (08/01/23)
Private network on bridge br0 = eth1 (vlan 1) + wlan0 + wlan1.
Guest network on bridge br1 = eth1.4 (vlan 4) + VAPs (wlan0.1 + wlan1.1) for IOT devices
(Roku's, Amazon Echos, smart switches, etc.) and guest.
Noob still finding my way.
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 1 set ports "1 2 6"
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 4 set ports "3 4 6t"
swconfig dev switch0 set apply
vconfig add eth1 4
brctl addif br1 eth1.4
ifconfig eth1.4 up

Just tried it, works fine for me on latest build. All I did is Add Virtual Interface, waited 20s, then went to Setup Networking, Added DHCP, selected ath0.1. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Short story - problem solved
Final successful Procedure
1. Set up ath0.1 without any settings on Wireless/Basic Settings tab Virtual Interfaces. Apply Settings
2. Add Multiple DHCP Server for ath0.1 on Setup/Networking tab. Apply Settings
3. Set up ath1.1 without any settings on Wireless/Basic Settings tab Virtual Interfaces. Apply Settings
4. Add Multiple DHCP Server for ath1.1 on Setup/Networking tab. Apply Settings
5. Go back and fill in all settings for ath0.1 and ath1.1 and Apply Settings.
Long story (kept short)- I tried multiple times to set up the VAPs without success for ath0.1. I would set up the VAPs and then complete all the settings before going to the networking tab to set up the DHCP server. ath0.1 disappeared and was not available to be paired with DHCP.
Everything running properly now. _________________ R7800 r53339 std (08/01/23)
