Just got through the other replies after responding to the earlier ones, sorry - my other issue is not having the time I need for this right now.

Config clash between the two LANS seems the most likely explanation.

Answers:
- a VLAN using subnet LAN2. The VLAN includes only SSID2. It's possible I configured this incorrectly and this is causing the issue. I've configured it with:

For NAT Usage
IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server Configuration enabled
Start IP Address: 192.168.2.10
Gateway IP Addres: 192.168.2.1

- So yes, the Draytek is (was) serving IPs for LAN2
- The Draytek serves the WiFi
- No VLAN routing
- No IPv6 addresses for the client, and IPv6 is disabled across the Draytek.

Sorry for the delay and I appreciate all the help.

No, Yes, or the other way round.

Router A has Broadband and Fibre connected to it and serves guest wi-fi
Router B WAN port is connected to any network port on Router A
Router B provides all internal services (except guest wifi)

You are protected from guests by Router B firewall, and from internet by two firewalls. Overkill in terms of hardware but would get you where you wanted fast.

No good if you need incoming ports for SIP/VPN etc.
