Guest isolation in AP mode works on latest firmware...almost (tl;dr IPv4 is OK, IPv6 not so much)
The good: Things work like you'd expect - you can reach the Internet but nothing on the local network except DHCP and DNS.
The bad: If your network has IPv6, it completely bypasses isolation.
Netgear, thank you for putting the effort in to get this right for IPv4, but please don't forget it's increasingly an IPv6 world out there.
Please add proper isolation for IPv6 in the same manner you already are for IPv4.

To clarify my message, this is not a feature request - it is a security-impacting defect in the guest isolation implementation, at least in AP mode. It is not safe to utilize the existing feature in IPv6-aware environments at this time.
