RBR353 guest network via LAN
Hello,
I would like to add a regular access point (no Orbi) with LAN connection to RBR353 (distance is ~150m so no mesh network from RBR353 available). technically it is working BUT could I put this access point (an all of it´s connections) into guest network instead of regular LAN? I would like to separate access point traffic and "the other network".
does anybody have a recommendation on this how to protect my regular network and get separat guest wifi via the LAN route?
to separate them over a wired link would require a router that supported vlan (not consumer grade).

The Orbi wouldn't work for that as its a consumer product and its vlan is designed for IPTV service.
I'm frankly impressed you have a 150m connection that's working. The spec on certifies it so 100m

- Thanks for your reply!!
I will have a look into it.
By the way... 150m ist wired not wireless 🙂
