I have created a virtual wifi interface on DD-WRT (latest, on a 6250) for guest wifi (just giving internet access but nothing else), which works well. However, it would be nice to be able to disable/enable this with one tick box in the configuration, so that others who discover the SSID can't just use it to surf the web, and I can then enable it only when guests need it.
If there is already some way of doing this please let me know - I can't find it. Restricting wifi to specified MACS (not recommended anayway, I know) defeats the purpose .
And yes, I know they have to get the password, but I'd still rather the virtual signal didn't show up at all on wifi detectors except when I need it (hiding the SSID doesn't hide the signal).
Is there any chance of a feature being added to the standard dd-wrt to disable/enable virtual interfaces? It would enable me to reduce the number of signals being emitted when I don't have any need of the virtual interface (which is most of the time unless I have guests). It would also stop my laptop from occasionally connecting to the virtual interface (set up to be limited to external internet connections only rather than devices in my home) instead of my full access connection.
