I have the same request.
I have secured my main network with a difficult password and 'block any but the listed' option for access control.

This is not practical at all. Every time a guest comes over that wants to use our WiFi I have to allow them in the Access Control List.
Please make it possible to disable access control for the guest network!

- no access control,
- its own access control,
- use the main networks access control options,
- etc.
If this is not fixed, I sincerely consider getting another MESH-system.
