Sagemcom FAST 5364 - Guest Networks

Message 3 of 3

I have a Sagemcom FAST 5364 router and noticed recently that there is an option now to have a guest network. However, when I set this up I found that it doesn't work!!

It would appear that there is a DNS server problem - the network addresses on the guest network are  192.168.8.* but the DNS server address is set to 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.8.1 and there doesn't appear to be a way to change this!

Please can you tell me what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks

John

There are all sorts of bugs affecting guest networks at the moment. I have just tried to replicate this and I do not get allocated a vaild IP address at all, just the Windows APIPA 169.254 one. I will raise this and the issue you get, which again is obviously wrong, with the developers later today.

 

I don't use guest networks as the router only has the one radio so it all shares the same channel.
