Guest wifi has no access (firewall "open")

Sat Aug 26, 2023 10:04 am

Hi folks!

I am running a RB4011 as my main router and an access point hAP ax² which creates my wifi network.

Now I did create on the AP a guest wifi. I created a virtual wifi interface which uses my wifi1 as a master and I created a new bridge which only covers this interface.
A bridge with only one interface was a kind of weird for me but it was necessary as DHCP didn't accept the virtual wifi device and it seems to be quite common to create this bridge. Ok.

So, I created a DHCP on the AP, 10.10.10.0/24 with an according range and 10.10.10.1 is the address of the new bridge.

Everything works: I can connect to my Guest wifi SSID, get a IP of the specified range and it looks great.

However: I can't connect to anything. Neither to any client on the other networks nor to the Internet.
But: The firewall of the AP is not set yet. It allows all input and forwarding (expect defaults for invalid etc.) as my main firewall is on the RB4011.
I see traffic on my wifi channel and I see that on the firewall nothing is blocked.

So - the only reason can be that the routing from my new network to other networks doesn't work. But if I check routes on IP I can see my routes, also to 0.0.0.0 which takes the IP of the RB4011 main bridge.

What do I miss? Is there any setting which I need to make that the guest wifi knows how to route?

PS: I am not using VLANs in this setup. Several tutorials use VLANs and hence they can use the main bridge but I thought this works also w/o VLANs.

Best regards, Heisenberg

Post export of AP config for starters. Redact sensitive information (such as device serial number or wireless passwords).

Use one bridge and on the router all subnets are vlans, bridge does nothing but bridging ( no IP addresses, no dhcp etc. )
