Orbi Guest Network Issue
Hello, I enabled the guest network and do not have a check in the box for "Allow guests to see eachother and access my local network". However, when I use "Fing" or "Net Analyzer" on my iPhone I c...
I have turned off the guest network. Hopefully a future firmware upgrade will fix this issue.
I have a client with a small coffee shop. She installed and setup her Netgear Orbi network (including guest network). I'm seeing the same issues with the guest network - same 192.168.1.x IP network as the main (supposedly private) network, etc. Doesn't feel secure at all since any guest can see ALL devices on the entire network including phones, point-of-sale devices, printers, etc. She is at current firmware 2.0.0.74 (as of 11/1/17). I'm probably going to recommend a different network solution for her business. This just doesn't feel right for guest access. - Paul
Can you ping one of the IP addresses listed while your device is connected in Guest Network?
While I don't seem to be able to ping other devices, I can SEE everything on the network including printers, servers, office PCs, POS servers and other guests. It just seems counter to everything I thought a "guest" network was supposed to be. I have read other posts where people can connect to some devices, but I haven't found that to be true yet. It feels like a major step backwards with regard to guest networks.
