Hi thanks for replying. Well I've had a bit more luck since posting and persisting. What I did was create a VLAN(802.1q) ID under device and assigned it with "30" then I went to the interfaces and created the guest however I attached the eth1.30 vlan, that worked but it didn't show any client in the GUI. I then went back to devices and left the eth1.30 (VLAN30) but then I also created a "br-guest" bridge and assigned the eth1.30 vlan that I had created prior to the bridge that way.
I Went back to the interfaces tab and edited the Guest network from "Software VLAN: "eth1.30" to: Bridge "br-guest" (guest) which has my VLAN30 only inside and now anything connecting shows up. A guide I read wasn't saying anything about making a bridge but as soon as I made / changed it to a bridge they started showing the gui.
The guide I followed to add the guest back to the brume 2: Setting Up Guest WiFi with Unifi Access Points and GL.iNet Gateway: Need Guidance! - #9 by dengxinfa
I am not fully sure why a bridge shows the clients in the GUI but just a eth1.30 vlan by itself doesn't?
I am guessing the reason I can see the guest clients inside the GUI now is because there's some hard coded GUI code that references "br-guest" is that correct?
My next step is to replicate the br-guest but this time I want "br-iot" I did the exact same steps for this VLAN and it works in the background but for these clients they don't show in the GUI. Is there a way I can tell the GUI clients list to also populate for the "br-iot" or for any "br-" that I make in the future, if indeed I am doing things correctly.
I am doing all this on the brume 2 which is my main router in my network. Modem (bridge mode) > Brume 2 > managed switch > unifi access points for WiFi with vlan tags for Guest and IoT
