Access poing not obatin an IP address

 

WAC124
I am attempting to set up a guest network on Netgear-2 (I have renamed it). Netgear-1 works fine. Netgear 2 will not obtain an IP address. I have a fortinet router and have configured NG to act as a wireless access point. Nothing else is physically connected to the NG. Unless I enable "allow access to wired ports,"" it will not obtain the IP address. If I disable that setting then it works. But if I do that, a device connected to Netgear 2 can ping the office computers, –that is what I want to prevent. Netgear 3 does not have that setting. But also will not obtain an IP address.
Firmware 1.0.4.6
