Orbi firmware update v2.1.4.16 availability

Network Isolation was not on the list of things corrected with this version.
I do, however, agree it should be fixed and that it should be a priority. They fixed it for Pro but not standard Orbi.

You're unfortunately mistaken on this one. Directly from the release notes in the very first post:
- Fixes an issue where devices on the Guest Network are able to see (but not connect to) some devices on the main network
- "Fixes an issue where devices on the Guest Network are able to see (but not connect to) some devices on the main network"
- Yes it says this ... but to me it looks like they fixed the issue where guest devices could not connect to the main network.
- The text does not say "fixed an issue where clients on the guest network are not properly isolated from the main network"- Agreed. That’s the way I interpreted that as well.

It's literally the reverse of the way I initially read it, because we all see what we want to see, I guess. :) I'm looking for total isolation, so that's how I took it, but if you *aren't* blocking transit from guest to main and things aren't interoperable, I can see how that'd be a problem too (I hadn't actually read any reports of that, but I can pretty easily see how it could happen).
