CAUTION: Orbi's Wifi Guest Network does not really isolate guests from main network
I was just playing around around with the Guest Network in Orbi and made a rather disturbing discovery that guest clients don't seem to be separated totally from the main network, in fact can access ...
I was considering purchasing this for my office. I need to be able to have a guest network without the guests possibly being able to access and/or see the other devices hooked to the network (e.g. printers, servers, etc.). Has this been fixed or is it still a possible security issues?
It works as expected in AP mode in the latest firmware, unless you have an IPv6 network presence (which the filter completely ignores).
I believe it's worked properly in router mode for several releases now, so as long as you are IPv4 only, I think you should be fine with guest isolation.
