V1.0.12.120_2.0.83 RAX45 - unable to modify Guest Wifi to allow guests to see each other?
i am on netgear firmware version V1.0.12.120_2.0.83 and i cannot update the guest network setting to allow guests to see each other on local network!
i am really gun-shy now in updating firmware... the previous version (V1.0.11.112_2.0.77), there aren't any issues that I have encountered.
Netgear team sucks ass man... it seems like in trying to fix something, they always manage to screw up something else.
Also, I just discovered that while on my local network where I am not supposed to be able to ping my guest network (not checked), lo and behold, I can ping my guest devices! WTF? What's wrong with Netgear?
Seriously contemplating changing to TP-Link... they at least have option to allow guest wifi to see each other WITHOUT the ability to see my local network devices.

If it worked on last FW version, then go back to that.
That is the obvious thing to do... I have had to do this (it seems) every other firmware update... it's getting really old! Last issue was that I couldn't print (opposite) where my local network wifi should be able to see each devices (not guests) but they couldn't see each other until I upgraded to the last firmware which then worked.
They must be hiring green engineers, right out of school of dummies or it seems.
Is there a screen capture of the Guest Network page with v.120 FW loaded that you can post here?
