Guest Wifi with internet but No LAN access - AP connected to Router

Tue Jun 13, 2023 7:22 pm

I have a Main Router (RB2011UiAS-RM) that is connected to a couple Omnitiks for wireless access through out our building and I have a wAP in our conference room for a good strong WiFi Signal to connect to in that area.

I want to create a Guest Wifi in the conference room and give the users access on a different subnet but not allow them access to the LAN (i.e. our servers, printers, etc) I can create successfully the Guest Wifi but it does not provde internet access.

My LAN is a 10.0.100.0/24 subnet and I am trying to set up the Guest network on a 192.168.1.0/24. I have a DNS server which handle all of the DHCP assignment for my LAN. Every tutorial I have found for setting up a guest network shows that the AP will be the DHCP server for the Guest Network so this is what I've done. I sure that the problem is that the 192.168.1.0/24 doesn't have a route to the gateway

I am not sure how to set this up. Do i handle this on the AP or the Router? I have my networks bridged on the AP but still no internet. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Can you post your router configuration ? My AP's don't handle DHCP or anything, that's done by router, DNS is handled by Adguard. Is there any reason that DHCP is handled by DNS server ? So you could create VLAN's and everything in router and AP's should be just that, AP's without any DHCP servers, firewall etc.

I inherited this network about a year ago. when I got here I assumed the DHCP was handled by the router but this is not the case. The network has a Server with 2 vhost servers running on it one of which is the DNS. The Edge Router is not configured to hand out any addresses. The local DNS i guess is required because we have a Quickbooks server on the network and all of the office staff log into it via a .local address. Other than that I don't understand its purpose because most of it is just pointed to 1.1.1.1.

however my problem isn't really the DHCP portion my problem is that even when bridged I don't get internet through my AP and I belive it has something to do with the VLANS/subnet.

Just wanting pointers on how to bridge different subnets on the AP.
