Managing "Guest" access

Besides our "normal" SSID, I currently use one of the "guest" channels on my Netgear AC5000 for my connected house and the others for visitors.  How are these needs addressed by the new Orbi?

    I installed the most recent update to my Orbi system and now have "Guest" access control.  This resolves my issue.  Thanks, Netgear, for addressing this concern.

I have to agree with previous posters, I will not buy a router that has no guest account.

IMHO, purchasing new home networking hardware / software in the first year, is equal to setting yourself up for disapointment..
