    Confirmed the WNDR3700v2 firmware (even when loaded in a WNDR3800) allows for a Guest Network, that does not see the local network.  Allow Local Access (unchecked), Wireless Isolation (unchecked).  Guests can print to a printer on the Guest Network.

Chieftan I'm afraid that there will be no plans releasing any official firmware for the unit.

The unit has been tagged as EOL. At this point, the only way to get it working is to use the beta firmware.

You must be kidding.... unfortunately this is far from being the first time I see such issue with Netgear.

It'll just be my very last Netgear device EVER !

 

Bye...

 

Edit: checked the EOL page and WNDR4500 is absolutely not in the list and still displayed as current product on Netgear website so... WTF ?

    StephaneK I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

    The EOL page will be updated soon.
