OpenWRT - Setup Guest WiFi

Ғылым және технология

In this video, we will setup guest WiFi on OpenWRT LuCI. It consits of creating guest network interface, wireless client isolation and firewall zone configuration. The purpose of Guest WiFi is to create an open wireless network independent from the main WLAN. At the same time, it will provide internet connectivity to guest clients and restrict LAN connectivity (for example, devices in guest network will not be able to access LuCI or other devices in your main LAN network)
Video timeframe:
00:00 - OpenWRT Guest WiFi Introduction
00:30 - Guest network interface creation on LuCI
02:04 - Guest wireless configuration - attach guest interface and client isolation
03:27 - Guest Firewall zone configuration & Traffic rules
06:18 - Assign multiples wireless radios (interface) to the guest network
07:00 - Result and Tests
- If you want to setup the guest WiFi using CLI, there is the link to the document: openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/n...

    Thanks for the comment. OpenWRT is an open source and it is free to use, so surely there is no paid here. I am just sharing the knowledge and hope to expand the community. There is small revenue I got from KZread, which is used to purchasing new hardware/router.

    I wouldn't leave a guest wifi network without security, unless you don't mind your neighbors leaching off your internet. Otherwise great video, thanks! I feel much better having my phone and other devices I do not control on an isolated network using a router I somewhat trust. My advice to others as a next step: Buy and install a Netgate firewall. Also, if you need to access stuff in your house using your phone remotely, set up OpenVPN.

    Hello! Thanks for the video. In my case the DHCP server was listing _only_ in the br-lan interface so no device was able to connect to the guest Wi-Fi. If anyone else has trouble getting an IP address, first check your firewall rules and also Network -> DHCP and DNS -> listing interfaces. HTH.

    Thanks for the video. I need your help about one configuration. On my openwrt router I'm using OPENVPN with kill switch enabled, I have one ssid, all the traffic goes only trough the VPN tunnel. What I have to do now is to create another ssid that will not use the VPN Tunnel but the normal internet provided by my ISP. Do you know how can I do that ? Thanks

    Thanks for this video. My new guest VLAN isn't connecting to internet and I'm struggling to see what settings could be wrong. I'm using openWRT 21.02.1 so some of the layout is slightly different, but I thought I'd followed your steps exactly! I'm a noob so definitely could be get something quite basic wrong. DHCP server is definitely created for the guest interface. Does anyone have any other suggestions of what could be wrong?

Like I need to limit certain devices to have access only between certain time with speed limits. Do you consider make a video like that? Best Wishes!
