Model: Deco X50 - PoE  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.5 Build 20231122 Rel. 58711

Hi,

 

I've install brand new 3 pack of X50-POE yesterday, i've enabled guest wlan (Allow local access disabled), when i connect to wlan guest network i can't reach internet or nothing.

 

My assumption is deco snoop DHCP and see the default gateway and allow access only to the d.g. mac address .

 

Problem is, i have 2 Internet routers and i'm using VRRP which means i have a virtual ip default gateway and virtual mac address which means returing traffic is coming from a different mac address.

 

Another issue is my dns is also on the internal lan but on a different ip address and it's not my internet router, so even if i was able to reach internet while using vrrp, i was unable to do hostname resolving.

 

Best approach would be to be able to add vlan tag for the guest and iot networks.

Hi, Thank you very much for your feedback.

I think the second one might be the cause of the internet failure on the Guest Network.

- Another issue is my dns is also on the internal lan but on a different ip address and it's not my internet router, so even if i was able to reach internet while using vrrp, i was unable to do hostname resolving.

 

Since there hasn't been a plan to support VLAN tags in the Guest network/IOT network in AP mode and I noticed you just bought Deco X50-POE, I think maybe our business Omada Access Point would be a better alternative:

Thanks again and best regards.

  @David-TP It's not just the 2nd one (dns issue) that causing internet failure and i'm saying this because i can't ping  IPs on the internet (8.8.8.8 for example), if it was just name resolution issue i would figure out a solution but it seems there is an issue with Deco using guest network while lan access disabled if the upstream router is using vrrp.
