AP Isolation Feature

I purchased the most expensive mobile hotspot router in the world with around 1000$, and I didn't find this basic feature which is available in 200$ in other mobile routers brands like HUAWEI.

I am requesting that AP Isolation feature must be added to this model MR6550 and by default to disable UPnp.

    AP isolation is for guest networks. Most MR routers don't have a guest network features as does stand alone home network routers which have Guest Network features. Theres nothing to isolate on MR series cell service routers as they are for accessing internet services thru cell service providers. 

     

    uPnP is enabled for ease of connections by devices and services, if it was disabled then you'd have problems getting to some internet resources. If you want uPnP disabled, then thats up to you to disable it. It's not a security risk now days either. Issues seen years ago with it have been resolved. I've been using uPnP for years with zero issues.
