RBR50 guest network Google Hub Nest or Chromecast
RBR50 allows main network to connect with a new Google Nest Home and Google Chromecast but gives error message/ won’t finish connection when trying to connect using Orbi guest network. I have reset th...
Could you please be more specific about how things are connected.
The devices (Nest Home, Google Chromecast) are connected to which Orbi network (primary or Guest)?
On the Guest network setup page, what is the status of the box "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network"?
Are you able to connect to the Nest Home when away from the Orbi system?
Thanks
- None are connected yet but I am attempting to connect via Guest in order to keep guests at our property away from our main Orbi network since we use the main network for business and personal use
On the Guest network setup page, what is the status of the box I have not been able to get to the Guest network setup page since the day I set up the guest network. Do you have ideas on how I can get to the set up page?
Yes I am able to connect the Nest Hub and Chrome cast using other networks. I am also able to connect using the main Orbi network of my home.I guess this is not the time to point out that if a satellite is located in the guest house and has an ethernet jack, then any laptop connected to it is by definition on the primary network? And, no, there is no method to "disable" the ethernet ports. There are some satellites with no ethernet port.
I have the same issue- Orbi RBK50 with Guest Mode activated for tenants but can't both prevent access from the LAN and enable Chromecast to function for them. The Router and Satellite are both unable to be accessed by the tenants, but because I have to enable Allow guests to see each other and access my local network they do have visibility of my LAN, preventing access to which was the whole idea of activating guest mode for them.
Would be great if Netgear could come up with a solution for this.
