It probably took me weeks to get a working guest network setup on my MT. That is one thing I wish they'd automate. I don't regret it, as I'm partly into MT so I can learn more about networking, but it makes it hard to recommend to others who want a basic home router.
(CAPsMAN helps a little, in that you can direct it to isolate all clients on a given SSID from each other, even across APs, but that still leaves you with configuring routing. It also has a packet fragmentation problem in that mode…)
I had my own VLAN fun when I tried to configure VLANs through the switch menu. Turns out that doing so overrides port master/slave configuration with no warning. I ended up bridging my WAN and LAN ports for a few days… (Now MT is thankfully starting to move away from direct configuration of the switch chip and instead using it to transparently accelerate bridges.)
