Any Plans for ORBI Firmware Upgrade for guests on WiFi to see each other WITHOUT accessing the LAN?

Question

Are there plans for a firmware upgrade to the RBR50 firmware to allow guest to see ach other wihtout having acess to the main Lan?

If the answer is no because this is a limitation of the product, I will start to see how to recoup my $300 dollars and sell the ORBI set. I hope that it doesn't come to that.

Hello Jmchez

&nbsp;

Can you be a little more specific what you are wanting to do with the guest network?
