[Feature request]: GL-MT6000 multi-interface AP

Technical Support for Routers

The idea is to make isolated wifi networks with vpn

  1. once I connect to vpn client it creates one AP
  2. and plain no wg wan AP

so that I can switch between vpn and non-vpn APs hassle free

this needs a lot of groundwork

it will be good if its baked into GL-MT6000 by default

You can achieve something similar by enabling guest WiFi network and then selecting a VPN policy that will make only guest network go through VPN.

Alternatively switch to vanilla OpenWRT and use pbr package.

Also there is a limitation how many ssids you can have.

But you also have multi psk now, this is what i currently use this works best on the vanilla openwrt main branch snapshots. :wink:

Multi PSK is cool, but doesn’t allow you to easily switch between VPN and plain internet. An interesting thing is multi BSSID, where all ssids are mashed together into one beacon.

how many SSIDs we can create on a single 2.4ghz?

6

There shouldn't be a real limit - but a limit how much makes sense.

iw command mentions 8 SSID limit per band. It is recommended to no more than 3-4 for performance reasons. Each SSID adds management overhead which consumes available airtime.
