BUG REPORT Nighthawk® AX12 RAX120 Router Firmware Version V1.0.0.84
Choosing option WPA2-Personal[AES] + WPA3-Personal encryption disconnects IPAD 2 running IOS 10.3.3
Must choose WPA2-Personal [AES] to stay connected.
Have you tried toggling the guest nework on/off and then checking or reeboting. If it still is occuring after that, might be due to settings corruption. I suppose a factory reset is the last resort.
This is the default, and intended, behavior when the router is in Access Point (AP) mode.
- Ah I missed that it was in AP mode, then I don’t think it matters.

That absolutely makes no sense. Even in the basic of an AP mode a 'GUEST' network basic is to avoid your "guest" to come in contact with your LAN resources other than Internet access.
I am tired, I spend the entire weekend unable to even get the most basic WLAN concept to work (AP Roaming & Isolated Guest network).
I have requested an RMA from my place of purchase and this is definitely going back. I will try Netgear products maybe another 10yrs from now. Going back to ASUS even though I don't need all that bloated junkware on it.
Thanks for nothing Netgear.

Disabled Features on the Router when set to AP Mode
"The following router features are not available (grayed out) when the router is in AP mode:
- Guest Network
..."
No guest network in AP mode, so no isolation, ... kc6108 is correct.
Have fun with Asus - not even their AiMesh does support extending a guest network to the AiMesh "nodes".
- Guest Network
On my RT-AC5300 and my RT-AC3200 I don't use AiMesh (Merlin firmware) and Guest isolation was an option.
I recently moved the RT-AC3200 to my office and loaded DDWRT on it. That is why I needed a new router. Didn't want the GT-AX11000 since it won't support Merlin, but at this point, it still looks like a better option than the RAX120.
- It makes sense because the unit acting as the router handles if devices on the two bands see each other. The AP unit has no control over that. Since the router unit just sees a single wired connection to AP and not two separate connections it can’t control it either.
- Probably need OpenWRT/DDWRT if you want that kind of granular control.
Not sure how the RAX120 VLAN their internal since I can't even SSH.
As far as I know. Working with 4 Wireless APs in the office. OpenWRT allows you to isolate the VAPs, since it assigns each VAP as wl0.1, wl0.2, and so forth. Using IPTables for isolation.
I never actually looked at the RT-AC3200 IPTables when I had it running as a Wireless AP, but there was a check mark area to isolate the guest.
Maybe Netgear is too lazy to incoporate a simple script to isolate the guest network. Who knows
