Can I assign a Wired LAN port to the "guest" network

Hi all, Is it possible to use the guest network with a LAN port instead of only via WiFi? Thanks for your reply. Regards, FileRijder

    No. Guest Network is a wireless only network. LAN ports are for the LAN side of the router.

    In Orbi -currently- there is no option to have a dedicated IP range for Guest network, therefore guest wired devices will get an IP address from the common IP pool.

    I know that many other routers give the possibility to configure Guest IP address range.
