Guest network with Access point

Question

HiMy question is a bout setting up guest network while in AP mode.I understand that AP mode is just passs through but any ideas if possible?I have a main router and the RAX80 is connected to it as AP.I have a guest network setup on the main router but I want to move it to the RAX80 and isolate the network ( stronger signal).is it possible to define any kind of a VLAN on the RAX80 in AP mode that will seperate between the main network and the Guest nework?

&gt; My question is a bout setting up guest network while in AP mode.&gt; I understand that AP mode is just passs through but any ideas if&gt; possible?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://kb.netgear.com/26765/&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following router features are not available (grayed out) when&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the router is in AP mode:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; o Guest Network&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On these routers, a "guest" network is not a separate network, butthere are firewall-like rules (enabled by default) which can limit theability of "guest" client devices to communicate with non-guest clientdevices.&nbsp; (Those firewall-like rules are implemented in the routersection of the device, which is why that functionality is lost when therouter is configured as a wireless access point.)&gt; is it possible to define any kind of a VLAN on the RAX80 in AP mode&gt; that will seperate between the main network and the Guest nework?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm unaware of any such thing.
