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 ...
The first wave to be released are only for the RBR50 and RBS50, which is used in the RBK50 and RBK53 (Costco) kits.
New beta FW avaialble. Get it while its hot of the press:
Might fix this issue...
What do you mean 'Might fix this issue...'
Nothing in release notes suggests it would?
- Right I feel like that statement can be deceiving either it addresses the issue that's been questioned for a very long time or it don't.? Is it fixed in the FW or not? I don't get why this issue keep getting avoided. Make no sense and in my eyes is kinda unprofessional for the issue to not be taken care if yet with no updates as to what type of progress is being made to fix this concerning issue. There is literally a option to not show guest network the devices and it completely counterdicts that option. Would love a valid responce or explanation or even some status update. Thanks
We have purchased several of the "Pro" routers and satellites. We have been struggling with this issue for several days - until we came across this thread. Clearly the Orbi does NOT support the functionality claimed and more worryingly seems to have zero commitment to addressing it or getting it fixed. This is not acceptable as a "business" product - we will be moving away from Netgear completely based on this issue - I tried to contact Netgear for support (even before I saw this thread) which went so far and then my call was disconnected by the support representitive. We have had similar issues with other purportedly enterprise solutions which arent enterprise - ReadyData 5200 - Layer 3 switches M6000 chassis and this is the final straw.

You might bring to to the Business GM attention by adding a post on the Connect With The SMB GM forum. I would hope johngm can join this discussion. Certainly not what he does expect to read from the loyal Netgear customer base.
