Creare rete guest senza supporto vlan
Firmware V 3.1.0.12 Salve. Come posso settare il WAC510 per configurare una rete guest, che ovviamente abbia il solo accesso ad internet senza assegnare una vlan diversa ? Purtroppo de...

Hello there, Thanks for reaching Netgear community.
Without VLAN support in your infrastructure, It is difficult to setup a guest network with v3.1.0.12 firmware.
Please wait for next release with some new exiting features. With new firmware release you should be able to create a network to isolate it from your local network.
Stay tuned!
Thanks.

Gentile esselle,
grazie per la domanda.
Riporto la risposta in italiano in modo che tutti gli utenti possano comprenderla:
"Senza supporto VLAN nella sua infrastruttura è difficile impostare una rete guest con il fw 3.1.0.12
Le chiederei di aspettare la prossima release con nuove feature. Con la nuova release dovrebbe essere in grado di creare un network e isolarla dal network locale"
Saluti

Retired_Member, is this "client isolation" a different feature from the "client separation" documented in the WAC505 User Manual (for example) on p.36 ff.?
"By default, client separation is disabled for a WiFi network (SSID or VAP), allowing communication between WiFi clients that are associated with different WiFi networks on the access point. For additional security, you can enable client separation."
In the industry common terms, this documented "client separation" feature is usually named "client isolation". The purpose is to suppress direct communication between Wi-Fi STA within the same AP STA (or uncommonly within the same access point).
Assuming these are two different features (what I doubt, can't check because my WAC are all in Insight cloud mode): Does the "client isolation" also deny communication to other systems on the same network - WLAN, switched LAN, other WAC, ... (read TCP/IP subnetwork) only permitting communication with the default gateway so only Internet access is possible? This is the way the Guest WiFi is implemented on the Nighthawk routers - however it's a constant source of complaints, as other (W)LAN IP can be pinged, Multicast traffic is still open, and much more denying the intended purpose of an isolated guest network on the same (W)LAN - without proper VLAN separation.
Edit: In Insight (App 4.0.11, Cloud 4.0.11.3), we only have a control for "client isolation" - which is obviously for what I understand being "client isolation". While one does commnly enable this on guest networks, this does not make a Guest WiFi capability on the same subnet.
