You set up a guest VLAN on your OpenWrt device and then associate your
guest SSID with that VLAN. If you have multiple Wi-Fi access points, they
must all support 802.1q VLANs and be configured to communicate with the
main router on the main VLAN and on the guest VLAN in order to use DHCP,
DNS, routing and other services provided by the main router.

Recent OpenWrt releases also support virtual SSIDs, but I have not tried
them and cannot comment on their usefulness.

See this guide for example, it is a little outdated but still useful:
