Setting up wireless AP with guest / isolation
Hello, I'm going to explain what I want to do and hopefully someone can give me some insight on the best way/product to accomplish it. I have several small offices that I want to add wireless access ...

In AP mode, things work better when you plug your primary router's ethernet cord into one of the 4 LAN ports instead of the WAN port. My hunch is that wireless isolation only allows communication with the WAN port, and since AP mode doesn't use the WAN port you end up having no access to the internet.
jmizoguchi: Do you work for Netgear? I'm just wondering because you have commented on every aspect of the forum. I own the FVS336GV2, WNDR4500, WNDR3800, and R6200. I used to own a WNDR3700. You've got comments all over the place so I was wondering if you work at Netgear? With all due respect, sometimes I don't understand what you are trying to say. I don't find your feedback very helpful because it does not always make sense. I know you are trying, but it's got me a little confused as to what you are doing. I end up communicating on other public forums where I have gotten better help.
I love Netgear's wireless range. This is why I keep buying Netgear products. I've tried various other routers and don't find the range is as good. With my latest router (R6200), I find it sometimes pauses before continuing. It's strange behaviour.
