I believe it will be added on the next firmware release however there is no ETA yet. I do hope you understand."
I do not understand. It's 2016. Netgear produces a Wifi Router with no Guest Network option. C'mon, man!!!
appalled ? really
does it say anywhere on the orbi web site that it has guest wifi ? i dont think so
will it be added in the future , perhaps but no conformations or expectation as it was never a spec of the original design
always good to read the specs of the device before purchase as guest wifi is not a given
Wow, I post in the community board and get my choice of words questioned. I didn't really need that - or the sarcasm, nor the caveat emptor reminder. On to more constructive stuff. I hope you can adopt a kinder approach as well, Petey.
Yes, I expected there to be a guest network. I purchased the unit on Amazon, and it appears that others feel the same way about the guest network, prompting a reply to someone else's feedback from Netgear Support that "the Guest network feature will be coming in the next maintenance release in November."
