hi all,

Thanks for this thread, now I know how to have 2 SSIDs with my WNDR3700V1. :P
Nevertheless, I have an other question :?:
In my application, I use 2 SSID and the quotas restriction.
Is it possible to manage one different quota for each SSID ? :idea:

Thanks for your answer(s)
CJ

The Quota system has no knowledge of SSID. You will have to use the other capabilities of the Quota system to manage your traffic.

Thank for your answer pbix, but in fact I have no idea of "how to do"... :roll:
Is there a means to know in real time which host is connected to which SSID ?
Do you have an idea of the script to complete my requirement ?

Are there any plans for implementing Guest SSID in web interface? This is really wishful feature, waited for so long time, for a lot of people.
I have tested all command-line solutions here (on netgear wndr3700v2) around year-two ago and found out it is not providing isolation, so from security point of view it can not be used as guest network... Any changes since that time?

Anyway following my script would prevent you from having to do any other modifications to Gargoyle and everything will work.
But this way clients from 'guest wifi' have access to the router shares

I'm looking into implementing this feature and I have a question. Should I implement this feature in network settings section in Gargoyle router web interface or should I offer it as a plugin?

From a personal point of view, not tried the plugins but I don't mind as long as it is straight forward :) I'd prefer the network settings area. Either way it would be awesome - I did have a try but unfortunately it was last minute I lost my network as a result so quickly put it back with a note to self to try it again when I had more time :)

Would love to see it implemented in the core options as I think it will enhance Gargoyles functionality and be useful for me :)

I've managed to get the guest network going on my WDR-4300, but was wondering how I can turn the guest network on/off as required?

And I would like to add my vote for this to be a become a feature accessible from the GUI.

I put together a UI for guest networking last night. I have a TP 3600 and so I can only test an Atheros router, and I believe that Broadcom routers using the b43 drives cannot set multiple SSIDs.

Anyway... After doing a first prototype by modifying the obfuscated basic.js (!) I "ported" those changes to the source so I can do a pull request once I am happy with it and have had some testers willing to build from my fork.

Info on where to find the fork etc. is in the Contribute development forum.

Thanks guys, awesome post.

I have now created a guest network, isolated from my local network and connected via opendns.

A few questions.

1. I initially set it up without a password and would like to add one.

Tried the following:

uci set wireless.ap_g2.key=<an actual password>
uci commit

and rebooted but it still not asking.

2. How to disable the network?

3. How to assign specific IP range to the guest network? (I can then force quotas, etc)

4. anyway of getting just the get network to disable changing DNS on the client? For my own reasons I need some devices to bypass opendns, but not all...

Thanks again, awesome, awesome post.
