[RBR850]: Route for guest network only

Can I set a route for my guest network only, to get protection for my settings portal so that it cannot be accessed from the guest network? And also, it should be possible to set a default for Advanced settings? Why do I have to see Basic everytime and click through to Advanced?

    Open the web browser to: http://orbilogin.net/adv_index.htm  (Most web browsers have an option to define URLs.)

    There is a very good chance that this is already the case.  (I do not have access to an 850 system, but do have a similar 750 system.)  The Orbi AX products create a separate IP subnet for the guest WiFi network.  When I connected a tablet to the guest WiFi network on the 750, opened a web browser, and entered the IP address of the Orbi router, it refused to connect.  Perhaps you could perform a similar experiment?
