Hi dwinters ,

 

The US team have confirmed that the AT&T variant has guest access enabled.  We are now checking why it was not enabled on the US retail variants.  Will get back to you soon.

Hi, 

 

I'm updating this post to clarify that no resolution has been provided by Netgear since the last conversation around 6 months ago.

 

This is despite advertising and marketing the MR1100 that it supports support Guest Access ( AP Isolation / Guest WiFi ). 

 

No one has reached out from the engineering team to clarify, despite being advised via Private Message from ArodiD that they are looking into it.

    Hello everyone,


    it looks like only the MR1100 AT&T firmware supports Guest Access ( AP Isolation / Guest WiFi ).


    Hoping NETGEAR firmware team can add this feature on the next MR1100-retail firmware update :-)

     

    BTW this mobile router is awsome (with the guest access it will be even better ;-)


    All the best

    Thanks for everyone's posting and comments.

     

    Yes. Guest WiFI and AP isolation feature were only enabled on AT&T SKU. We will investigate and see whether we can enable the features in the coming update.
