CPE210 Configuration

Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I want a wifi access point for Airbnb users on my property - a guest user network. The TP-Link unit (CPE210) is wired and is around 50 feet from the modem and router.
I would like the guest network to be different from my personal network. Currently personal is 192.168.1.x and would like the guest network to be, for instance, 192.168.2.x.
Is this something the cpe210 can do or do i need to set up a second router and connect the cpe210 to it?
any help or suggestions appreciated.

swconfig is a command, not a config file. What do you want to do with swconfig? It's actually not needed to setup anything and danger is that you make easy things very complicated by using low-level commands such as swconfig or ifconfig.
Where or how do I dedicate a lan port for the interface created with a subnet ssid/ip address?

Menu Network->Switch. Add a VLAN, mark port to be used as untagged, make sure to set to Off for all other VLANs and tagged for CPU trunk, then click Save:
Next, go to menu Network->Interfaces, select the tab with your guest network's name and assign it to the VLAN interface created in the previous step. For VLAN 2, the interface name is eth0.2. Then click Save & Apply to activate both settings:
If the guest network is assigned a local SSID, the option " creates a bridge ..." may be ticked already. Then just add the port to the bridge assigned to this network (the radio boxes for interfaces will turn into selection boxes for multiple selections automatically).

My firmware does not look like that nor does it have the Switch tab. That's why I thought I had to go into the files to activate the tabs.

Which firmware release of OpenWRT do you use? Codename? Version? With LuCI web UI or without?

So, Finally able to get OpenWRT firmware looking how I think it should look. to get the Switch tabs had to run a script or two.
Configured it, but when I check the port's ip address, none show the ip address of the guest interface. I ran arp -a for the ip test. Almost there, i think, i hope.
See the attached screenshots::

Your router has two interfaces:
eth0 for WAN/WAN6 and
eth1 for LAN. So it is one of the devices with two separate network interfaces I mentioned above. SW-Ports 0 to 3 (corresponding to port labels 4 to 1) are on
eth1. To divide this interface into two networks LAN and GUEST, use
eth1.1 for LAN (VLAN ID 1) and
eth1.2 for GUEST (VLAN ID 2). Then you can assign a port (e.g. SW-Port 3/port labeled 1 on the box) to the GUEST network. In the LuCI screenshots above you divided
eth0 into two VLANs.

Finally, got it to work. Thanks R1D2, Thanks for tolerating my ignorance in networking concepts and all.
I have a question about my final configuration. Please take a look at the WAN Interface and tell me what you think.

Well, I thought all was good until I hooked it up to the modem and all.Devices connect and obtain an IP Address , however, no internet access. Back to the drawing board.
Am able to get to the internet, however, once i try to associated the port 4 to the guest network things go south. see screenshots of the configuration before assigning the port 4 to vlan2.
You'll notice also that the site is not secure. Is because I havent set up firewall?

Why did you exchange
eth0 <->
eth1? On routers with two NICs, one is wired to the port labelled "Internet" and the other one is wired to the 4-port switch. You can't exchange them at will.
eth0 therefore
must be the WAN interface (the only one interface, no VLANs make sense here!), while
eth1 is the switch you can assign ports to VLANs.
