Different DHCP range for guest network in GUI

Post by aioyups »

Hope to add different DHCP range in GUI for wifi guest network.
It'll help a lot for quota and restriction for guest networking.
Is it possible or considered ? thx.

It has already been considered

I think the conclusion was it was a lot of work to implerment.

From memory it was something about QOS problems?

Hope it's implemented in the future.
Editing manually config file sometimes cause issue when save setting through web GUI.
Guests are random and always change. It's impossible to add every devices to qos. The most practical is to add different dhcp range and do qos for them.
Guess it only possible for equal sharing for now.

I don’t think it will happen.
You can use CIDR to achieve the same thing
