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.

where did you download v 1.4.0.16 ?

netgear support site still allow download of 1.3.0.26...

(i'm still waiting to buy Orbi until i'm sure guest network is available in firmware for EU/Italy)

 Logged into my Orbi account and saw that a new update was available. 1.4.0.16

 

This update includes Guest access. Set it up and it works like a champ. I'm happy now. Studio_20161126_064549.pngScreenshot_2016-11-26-06-27-27.png
