Multiple SSID's for WIFI Routers

Currently Netwgear WIFI Routers only have the ability to have 2 x WIFI SSID's - Main Routers SSID (2.4 Ghz & 5 Ghz) and the Guest SSID (2.4 Ghz & 5 Ghz).

Need the ability to have a minimum of 5 SSID's, there need to be selectable as to what is Main & Secondary SSID and what are Guest SSID's.

Many other WIFI Routers Support this feature as a stanard, even base line Routers.

    I want to second this comment.

    I have an AD7200 and was shocked when I couldn't configure multiple SSIDs.  This is a serious feature gap.  In the consumer space there is a necessity to seperate users/devices from each other: traditional users, guests using the internet only, LAN party, IoT devices.  The usefulness of this product is greatly limited by this gap despite the best-in-class connectivity.
