"Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" is checked ON and greyed out in AP mode
Hi Community,
I can't seem to turn off the "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" options on the Guest Network Setting on my R8000 or my R7000P routers. This is when the ...
No, it's the absence of the isolation feature permitting full access and visibility between the wireless networks and the switched LAN ports. The whatever preset in place (coming probably from the router mode configuration) has no relevance.
The client isolation feature is not implemented and not available in pure AP mode - therefore the control is not available.
Thank you.
However, is there then a different explanation why a smartphone on the 55CA network can use Chromecast speakers through Spotify set up on the NETGEAR network?
Thanks again,

- Got it now - ABSENCE of isolation!
Thanks.Yep - sorry, not a native English speaker on this end.
Afraid, I would love to suggest a better solution. This is one of the long term "fil rouge" items hanging around and often asked feature/capability for the Nighthawk routers. Appears Netgear has a difficult time (nicely saying) to keep up with what their customers expect in the year 2018 on the router products. Other examples is the amazing absence of a UI to configure firewall rules for Internet -> (via Port/NAT forwarding) -> LAN and Internet -> Router (for any router hosted service, like Remote Access, OpenVPN, ...), or the lack of WDS discovery as just adding SMB 3.0 is not enough to be Windows 10 compatible. Regardless on how many times these issues are discussed in the community, we can rarely see feature changes - neither for "new" models, nor for leading edge models, nor for the mainstream models. Appears some of the product managers and their ODM engineers are living on a different planet.
