Not being able to setup 2nd "guest" network
I tried last year: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10121
I wanted to give it another try today with a different approach. Create the networks in the GUI, so that boileplate wifi code for archer c7 was generated, and then tweak the code. But no luck, this time the devices were connecting but no ip addresses were being assigned.
I would like to ask i someone could try it on a c7, perhaps there are specific tricks for this router.

If you duplicate the ap_gn_g config and modify it slightly it will just work

Do you mean theorically, or have you tried it recently, because I already tried that and did not work.
Re: Not being able to setup 2nd "guest" network
Theoretically. But you probably need to choose a new MAC address.

Re: Not being able to setup 2nd "guest" network
I remember not knowing what that MAC address for the guest network was for. I think I'll try it again on monday. So any valid address will do?
Re: Not being able to setup 2nd "guest" network
The second digit of the MAC address must be even

Re: Not being able to setup 2nd "guest" network
Hi, i just tried for the third time, i did the following:
-in wireless "config wifi-iface 'ap_gn_g'", edited:
-in network, added:
-in dhcp "config dhcp 'lan'", edited:
and added:
No luck, devices can't get IP address, seemingly DHCP is not assigning them for wireless devices:
As you can see most wireless devices dont get ip assigned. There 2 of them tough that do, i suppose those are static ip's.

Wlan0-1 doesn't look right.
Type iwinfo and I think you'll find the second guest netwieibis wlan0-2

Re: Not being able to setup 2nd "guest" network
I had "wlan1-1" for 2.4G guest network.
So i updated that line accordingly but there was no difference. Ips still aren't being assigned.

Re: Not being able to setup 2nd "guest" network
Does anyone know whether this router has ever worked this way? I may consider getting other if necessary, this fature was one of the reasons i got it.
