IN my DIR-855 (and now my 868L) I have never been able to truly separate the WLAN from Guest Zone as it relies on sharing DNS/DHCP.
Very similar to http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=22700.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=22700.0) I am wondering if there will be an option for separate DHCP/DNS options for Guest zone in the future?

**Update
I was testing my configurations tonight and noted that whenever I connect to my guest zone without "routing between zones", I get a completely different set of IP addresses routed to the WAN. Just wanted to share.
-
Probably not. Thanks for sharing. I do know that you can change the IP address pool strings now which are separate from the main DHCP server pool.
-
Where can you change the IP pool settings that you mention? I only see the main settings under "network settings" but no other alternates.
For example, my configuration has DHCP turned off, LAN set to 10.10.10.0/24, router IP at 10.10.10.1, and DHCP scope of 10.10.10.50-10.10.10.100 handled through my internal DHCP server.
I note that my Guest Zone is getting a 192.168.7.0/24 configuration and the router is handling all of this.
If this is just an unpublished change from how prior devices (such as my 855) used to work, I am extremely thankful as it does truly separate my networks and protect my data.

Any GZ IP addresses changes are under the Guest Zone section I believe.
-
Thanks. No option to change any GZ IP settings but none the less I am extremely happy. Having its own separate subnet when routing is disabled is all I need.

Enjoy.
