Guest isolation not supported in AP mode?
The good news: Guest access works. The bad news: You can't do guest isolation in AP mode, apparently - the option is greyed out. That makes it rather useless, unfortunately - why is this? ...
have to agree here , the device would not really be working in AP mode if it where handling router features
I used to think so as well - except eero got this right. In AP mode, they use iptables to block any packets that aren't destined to TCP/UDP port 53 or DHCP broadcast to any local CIDR, based on eero's own IP addresses (v4 and v6). It's quite clever and works very well.

Ok, I see how that could work. Thanks for pointing it out.
