[RBR 750] Make guests use Chromecast on the main network (disabling Orbi guest network isolation?)
I have a RBR 750 in Router mode, and I'd like devices connected to the guest network to use chromecast which is on my main network. Ideally, I would expose the Chromecast device (and only that) t...
Any Guest Network is isolated from the main WLAN. Due to security concerns.
I see. It looks like devices within the guest network are also isolated from each other, right?
For example, I tried momentarilty putting the chromecast on the guest network. While it is visible from the devices on the guest network, casting doesn't work.
I would believe so.
Guest Network is tied to the WAN port so any and all devices connected to the system get services directly from the WAN side. Nothing should be accessible to the LAN side from the Guest Network.
I see. How would you then approach this problem of having guests access selected devices (printer, chromecast, etc) on the main network? I think it's a fair/common use case.
Is it something that can be done with some other product? (e.g., the Orbi pro line?)
