I'd like to extend my home network to guests using an old wrt54gl running ddwrt.

I've managed to create a separate vlan on port 4 of my main router, but can't get internet access on the guest router, though ip addresses are being assigned correctly.

Configuration Summary:

Main Router(ASUS RT-N66U)
WAN: PPPOE
Local IP: 192.168.1.1
vlan1: Ports 1, 2, 3
vlan2: WAN Port
vlan3: Port 4, Unbridged, IP:192.168.2.1, Subnet:255.255.255.0, Masquerade/NAT: Off, Multicast: Off
dhcpd on vlan3: Range-192.168.2.100-150
dhcp reservations: WRT54GL Router to 192.168.2.1

Guest Router(WRT54GL), connected lan cable from port 1 on this router to port 4 on asus router
WAN:Automatic
Local IP: 192.168.2.2
Gateway:192.168.2.1

Any suggestions/corrections please?
 
What vlan port is the wrt connecting to? Are these packets tagged? Because the wrt probably won't work properly with the tagged packets. It will probably either strip the tags or completely ignore the packets.

The solution would be to put the wrt on vlan1 (untagged), so that it doesn't have to deal with tagged packets.

I'm not sure i understand your question. all 4 ports on the wrt would be vlan1. port 1 from this wrt goes to port 4 on the n66u (vlan3)

Nothing is tagged (yet)
