A Wireless Access Point is a setup that has the FlashRouter using an existing network’s DHCP instead of assigning its own. The FlashRouter’s WAN/Internet port should be not be connected to your modem or other router while performing this setup.

1. Set the Local IP Address to a different address on the same subnet as the existing network that you noted early. (example: if the existing network is 192.168.1.1 then set the Local IP Address to 192.168.1.2)
2. Set the Gateway to the Local IP Address of the existing network. (example: 192.168.1.1)
3. Set the Local DNS to the Local IP Address of the existing network. (example: 192.168.1.1)

If you would like to prevent visitors from connecting to your main WiFi network then you can create a Bridged Guest Network that will prevent access to the main router. This setup also allows you to create different rules for different WiFi SSID’s in your home ranging from QoS controls, access restrictions, VPN network segmentation, and more.

If you have a Dual-band or Tri-Band router you can setup a WiFi Guest Network, creating a separate VLAN (virtual local area network) for your visitors, or in order to segment your VPN networks on any band you like. We recommend using the 2.4GHz network for your DD-WRT Guest Wireless Network so it is compatible with the most possible WiFi devices. Setting up a guest network for visitors in your home allows you to keep them off of your main WiFi network.

We recommend performing this setup while connected to the FlashRouter via ethernet cable. If your computer does not have an ethernet port and you must proceed via wireless connection to the FlashRouter pay attention to the wireless connection as you may need to rejoin the FlashRouter’s network after making changes.

1. Under the 2.4GHz or 5GHz Interface click the Add button.
2. In the Wireless Network Name (SSID) field enter the unique network name of the guest network.
3. Click Save.

1. Duplicate the wireless security settings that are set for the other bands for the newly created virtual interface.
2. Click Apply Settings.
3. Reboot your router.

1. Under Create Bridge click Add. Name the newly created bridge br1.
2. Click Apply Settings

1. Under Assign to Bridge select br1 from the Assignment dropdown. Select wl1.1 or ath1.1 depending on your router model.
2. Click Apply Settings.

1. Under Network Configuration br1 select Enable for Forced DNS Redirection.
2. Set Optional DNS Target to 208.67.220.220
3. Set IP Address to 192.168.12.1
4. Set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
5. Click Apply Settings.

1. Under Multiple DHCP Server click Add.
2. Set the first dropdown to br1.
3. Click Apply Settings.
4. Reboot your router.

1. Copy the fire script from below and paste into the empty Commands shell
2. Click Save Firewall.
3. Wait one minute and then reboot your router.

You will now have a working Bridged Guest Network on the FlashRouter. By inputting the firewall rules, this will also prevent any guests on your network from gaining access to your router settings.

1. Click the Backup button.
2. A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
