How to extend guest network to extender
I've got an XR500 setup with a guest wifi network on 2.4GHZ. Right now, only my primary wireless network is extended via the EX7700. How do I extend the guest network too?
You'd need another extender. You can choose to extend either the primary network or the guest network for a single band but not both at the same time.
One option though is to have the extender use the guest network to extend the 2.4ghz guest and the 5ghz primary or vice versa. That'd give you a secure wifi for your devices and one for your guests.
I'm using an ethernet backhaul XR500
So even if I got a second X6, how would you set it up to use the guest network? I want to isolate the guest wifi network from the rest of my network. The XR500 allows for that, but it sees all the traffic coming from X6 as a LAN port traffic and I don't believe it has any idea of which SSID the device is connected to.
