Orbi RBR350 AP mode guest network improper IP Assignments
I have my RBR acting on AP only mode with 2 orbi RBS350 as nodes. Connected to the ethernet port on my RBR give me internet access. I see on my router that some devices are being assigned correctly i...
Guest WiFi in AP mode is also complicated because the original and AX products work differently:
- The original Orbi assigned IPs to Guest WiFi from the primary DHCP pool (or even 'assigned' IP list).
What AP mode disabled was the ability to segregate Guest devices from the primary LAN. i.e. Guest WiFi can be enabled, but in AP mode IPs are assigned by the upstream router and Guest devices can access the entire LAN subnet. - The AX models appear to assign IPs to Guest WiFi even in AP mode and hide them behind NAT.
Correct.
