guest network internet access

I'd like to set up a guest network, allowing internet access, but not allow access to my local network.    I have the guest network enabled, I don't have the box checked to allow access to my local network.   I've connected to the network from 2 phones, and they both say that they are connected without internet, and a browser test confirms that.

Nighthawk R6900P

Firmware:  V1.3.1.64_10.1.36

  • I found that I had to go to the Access Control page and allow access for the phones on the guest network.   I had access control turned on & the phones did have access on the main network, but that didn't work on the guest network.
