That's a log from the Troubleshooting screen in the Linksys's web interface. I have no control over the DHCP on the Linksys: It is not available because the router is in bridge mode. This is why I am...

Are you the one who added the OpenDNS IP addresses to DNS1 and DNS2?
I would revert back to normal mode and turn off DCHP and then go back to bridge mode and see what happens.
In bridge mode...

Based on what I can tell from a handful of searches, sounds like the Linksys isn't designed to work the way you want it to relative to the Guest Network. In bridge mode it disables many features,...

Asus IP is 192.168.1.242
Asus DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254
Linksys IP is 192.168.1.133.
It can all be seen from the Linksys's Status screen...

No, it's worse than that. When you connect to the guest network, you don't get an IPv4 address assigned, so you can't ping or connect to anything. I can tell from the logs that the Linksys is using a...

I purposely disabled Wi-Fi on the Asus router. I want the Linksys to handle the wireless clients. If I need to re-enable Wi-Fi on the Asus and re-enable the guest network on it, I won't really need...

I'm splitting hairs here but if I understand you correctly, the guest network is working just fine, it's just restricted as it is designed to be when using in bridge mode.

Do you have DHCP disabled on the Linksys? Should only be one device handing out IP addresses and that should be your Asus. If you have DHCP enabled on both devices that can definitely cause...
