XR700: Wireless isolation doesn't work on guest network

When I enable guest network, any user on the guest network is put on the same subnet as the main. I have "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" unchecked. Guest users are able to be pinged and to see my whole main network. This is a major problem if the guest network feature is unusable

    Yes, even connection via guest wifi, you will be still in the same subnet which is correct.

    for the isolation matter, I did not see it before. It's worth to dobule check.

      I don't see how that qualifies as a guest network if devices share the same subnet

        It's a guest network as:
        You don't have to share your private WiFi password
        Guests can't access shared LAN devices
