TomatoUSB

I'm a relative newbie to this, so while this is probably a simple question - it's new to me.

I live in any area with fairly high wireless interference, so I recently bought an ASUS RT-N66U router, and reflashed it with the tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-112-Mega-VPN-64K build. So far everything has been working well, I have set up the 2.6 GHz network for our tenants, and the 5GHz network for us.

My current setup is as follows:
-Three SSID's are being broadcast. Call them SS1, SS2, and SS3. SS1 is the primary on the 2.6Ghz band, SS2 is the primary on the 5GHz band, and SS3 is a virtual wireless interface on the 5Ghz band (wl1.1)
-I have two bridge's - br0 and br1 - and 3 Vlan's. Vlan 1 controls the wired connections and has SS2 and SS3 assigned to it and uses br0. Vlan 2 controls the wan port and VLan 3 only has SS1 assigned to it and uses br1.

What I would like to do is have anything that connects to SS3 use a different set of DNS servers than anything else - but still be able to see everything controlled by bridge br0 (all the wired ports and anything connected to SS2). In other words, if a device connects to SS2 - it will use one set of DNS servers, but if it connects to SS3, it can still see everything - but uses a different set of DNS servers.

I have thought of adding another bridge with a different range of IP addresses, then assign wl1.1 to it, but then I don't know how to assign a different set of DNS servers to that IP range, or how to make it so that everything on the new bridge can access everything on the original bridge.

I believe it has something to do with IPTables entries - but I'm not sure where to enter them.

Any help or suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

You're trying to do things way beyond your knowledge. If you have to ask those questions, you're probably not going to go very far, and you'll continue to pollute this forum with more irrelevant questions.

i think you need to create a vlan and SSID for every user to make them feel important

great idea with the bridges. bridge all the vlans to each other too.

Doing a quick google search on friedgreen leads me to believe that what we have here is a real live troll attempting to spoof one of his betters. How sad that such a poor example of trolling would be demonstrated here. Perhaps if he/she would care to go away and learn how to troll better - they might actually be believable. I believe this is unlikely as most trolls are incapable of development or coherent speech - but one can always hope.

PS. Next time you might try actually logging in - it's far more believable that way

So I am able to get the DNS server settings working just fine when using this:

dhcp-mac=red, 90:DA:15:1E:4A:4G
dhcp-option=tag:red,6,198.27.106.151,192.254.74.201 #6 is DNS server option

However when I try to use a range - it just doesn't work. I have tried:
dhcp-range=set:red,192.168.1.45,192.168.1.50
dhcp-range=set:red,192.168.1.45,192.168.1.50,255.255.255.0

I found a similar posting in the Tomatousb forums. I'm apparently not allowed to post the link, but it's forum posting t-536294. That user never seems to have solved it.

Is the dhcp-range setting broken in the build of dnsmasq used in Tomato? I am using Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-112 K26 USB Mega-VPN-64K

So dhcp-range is still broken - however I was able to get the DNS servers working.

What I used was the following:

dhcp-host=11:22:33:44:55:66,set:red,192.168.3.50
dhcp-option=tag:red,6,198.27.106.151,192.254.74.201

What this does is whenever the device with mac address 11:22:33:44:55:66 is connected to a VLAN which is assigned to a bridge where it is possible for it to be assigned the IP address 192.168.3.50, then it will also be assigned the DNS servers below.

However, if the device is not able to be assigned the desired IP address, then it will also not be assigned the DNS servers.

In this way - I can have the same device connect to two different networks on the same router - but only have the desired DNS servers be assigned to it on one of them.
