Can I assign a Wired LAN port to the "guest" network

Can I configure ethernet (wired) devices directly connected to my EX8000 extender to access only the guest network?  (My main router is an AC3000 Nighthawk X6S if that matters.)

  • I think the only way to do this is to connect the entire EX8000 to the X6S guest network.  That of course affects all the clients (WiFi and LAN) of the extender to.

      That wouldn't be my preference (I'd like to also use it to extend my internal wireless coverage), but if that's the only solution then I guess that will be what I will have to do.  Thanks for the response.
