Orbi Guest Network Access Control

Hello LarryC1957
It shouldn't block devices on the guest network if it is isolated from the main network.

- My wife attached to our guest network and when I looked at attached devices, the iPad was blocked. She wasn't able to do anything. I just purchased my Orbi and installed on Dec 28th, 2016. So, is there a way to separate blocked devices on Guest network vs Home network? Thanks
Hello tsutaz
Have you updated to the latest firmware 1.4.0.34 customers have reported that is has been fixing the issue where devices show as blocked.

- Ha!, at the time of my posting on Jan 3rd, if memory recalls correctly, .34 firmware was not avail. My ORBI is on an AUTO update mode, so I will check this afternoon when I get home. Will post my findings back here. Thanks
Is the Orbi guest Network isolated from the Non Guest Network by design ? If not, I guess the answers is when Block All Devices is on then all devices are blocked regardless of which network they're on.
