Desactived MAC acces control for WIFI Guest
Firmware version 1.0.2.46
Hi,
I want to stop the acces control on mac adress for the guest. I just want control the mac address for the internal network, but not for the wifi guest ?
How can I do it ?

Bonjour,
Je n’arrive à désactiver le contrôle d’accès sur les adresses MAC pour le réseau invité. J’aimerai que le contrôle d’accès fonctionne sur le réseau WIFI Interne mais pas pour celui des invités. Comment faire ?
Merci.
Salut Arno,
As far as I know the Netgear router (any older R6xxxx, Nighthawk, Orbi/Obi Pro for routers and APs) MAC Access Control system does not make a difference between the normal and the guest SSID. C'est un "design" très limité, n'offrant pas de flexibilité à mon avis.
NaderA, AbhayB and johngm (for Orbi Pro) - this is an absolute valid use case: Trusted LAN and WLAN SSID for trusted MAC only, guest network for any MAC address - advise please.

If you have registered all internal or trusted WiFi device MAC addresses, blocking anything else, and find the guest network does only allow the access for the trusted MAC addresses, too - figure, you face design and/or implementation issue. So is this the problem?
Is-it possible to allow access for new device (unknow mac adress) for the guest WIFI, and just allow the trusted wifi device for the internal network ?
