Is there a way I can run the 2nd guest virtual interface and use MAC filtering for my home LAN (1st virtual interface) and no MAC filtering for my “guest” internet passthrough?

Given the specs above and useing WPA for both connections, I tried it and it loses the WAN connection. I ran each command in the startup to see where it goes wrong and I lose the WAN when I run this command – brctl addif br1 vlan2. I changed it to brctl addif br1 ra1 and that works, but I’m not able to connect to the internet on the virtual lan. Access to the internet works on the LAN and the main WIFI connection. What happens is that it does assign an IP address of 192.168.2.114 as expected, but nothing going out. I tried commenting out the last line in the firewall commands, but that didn’t make a difference. Any ideas?

I have a Buffalo WHR-G300N with DD-WRT v24-sp2. I want to separate the local LAN from the WIFI users. Will this solution work? Have they fixed WPA so this works in this version for this router?

Is it ok to use the internal firmware updater in DDWRT to update to SP2?

Can I use this file on my box?
ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24_TNG/svn12774/dd-wrt.v24-12774_NEWD-2_micro.bin

And btw, I did not enter this part on the startup script:
“##FIX NAS. Here NAS is disabled, cause it is NOT used for WEP, and these wifi networks will use WEP (for now)
killall nas
nas -P /tmp/nas.wl0lan.pid -H 34954 -l br0 -i eth1
nas -P /tmp/nas.wl0.1lan.pid -H 34954 -l br1 -i wl0.1
“

When the two wireless networks was without security, both of them worked.

With WPA2 on both, it tries to get an IP on the guest-network, but it just fails.
Same happen on regular WPA (Main wireless still on WPA2).

I get an IP when using WEP on the guest network.
Should I give sp2 a shot?

@Makky,

It might, depending what problem it is you have. SP2 have a better Wifi VLAN support especially when it comes to anything beyond WEP.

Thank you for the tutorial, very good.

I am using a WRT56GS v.7 and the firmware v.24 sp1.

I have used you config, and I can use WPA2 on the main wireless network, but not on the \”guest\”-network.
Will it help upgrade to sp2?

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I followed it exactly with my WRT54G v5.1 and installed dd-wrt v24sp1 micro. Now I can see the two SSID, so I think that the settings are good. But it doesn’t work. I cannot have a valid IP address (from the DHCP server) from the two virtual ssid.
Any ideas?
I would like to try configuring multiple SSIDs using the “v24-sp2″ instead of “v24-sp1″
but I don’t know where I can dowload it on the DD-WRT website.
Do you know where I can find it?

Thanks, Rv
