RBR750 assigns IPs to Guest WiFi in Access Point mode.... how is that possible?
The orbi RBR750 seems to have a strange setting that even if it is enabled to Access mode . the guest WiFi assigns an device an ip ( in this example it is 192.168.2.x How can ORBI assign a 192.1...
unfortunatly I am way past my 90 days.
I agree with your statements , the strangest thing realy is how does the guest wifi assigns an IP when DHCP is disabled and the device set to access point , which I agree defeats the purpose of beeing an access point. also how does it go past the firwall with an IP Range I did not assign to this port.

I believe there is a technical difference between firewall and access control. Firewall is what protects a router from accepting connections on the WAN port (from the internet). In access point mode, access control is not supposed to be available. If a device provides the correct password, it gets on the network.
