Guest Network Transparency with Main network
I’m new to Orbi and just finished setting up the RBK50 and noticed that when I log onto the guest network I am able to see all the devices connected to my main network. I checked Fing app, and two additional network utilities and all three show all the connected devices. I doubled checked and have the “Allow guests to see each other and access my local network” box unchecked. Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks.

Will a Netgear engineer pick this issue up? This is an issue that is across many threads and affects many users and seems to not have been resolved for some time. Guest Network is essentially rendered useless.

This is a design failure. Nothing the customer support can fix.
Business and advanced home users expect correct isolation of the work and the guest network. VLANs are not introduced since yesterday, and are not rocket science. And again for the records, this is nothing new with Orbi for Business, with Orbi, ... the issue exists as long Netgear does offer this highly questionable "design" on earlier routers, Nighthawks inclusive.
Very sad.
