Next Orbi Firmware must allow guests to see each other but not access Lan

jmchez . Just to clarify your feature request, you're asking for the following:

Have a checkbox that allows wireless devices on Guest Network be allowed to see other wireless devices on Guest, but not devices on the main network or on the wired network?  

Orbi Product Team. 

Yes.

The second checkbox would be, as is now, for wireless devices o the Guest network to be allowed to see devices n the Main network.  I doubt that i would ever use this but some others might.

I completely agree, and better then that this guest network needs to be into another subnet with firewall rules between both networks to gives them the possibility to access few specific device/service inside the internal network if someone desire this functionality.

I just bought a new Nighthawk AC2300 (R7000P) and am extremely disappointed and angry that this brand new, high-priced router, does not separate the options to let Guests see each other, and to let Guests see my Main network. For 5 years I've happily used a Netgear WNDR3700 which had separate options to enable Wireless Isolation (guests can/can't see either other) and Access My Local Network (guests can/can't see Main devices). I used the Guest network for my kids and their friends--I trust them enough to use wifi and see each other (many multiplayer games require it), but I do not trust them (or their  virus-prone devices) enough to see my work and home computers and shared folders.  After 5 years I expected new and improved features, but Netgear has taken a step backward.

I am considering returning my new router to the store and buying a different (better) brand.

Needless to say, I will no longer be recommending Netgear to friends, and I'll have to explain why.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your suggestion on the new features. The ideas will be reviewed for consideration. :]

I also agree with this. Currenty I have another old wifi device to manage guests becouse I would like to give them access to Internet and allow them to connect each other, but not to access my private lan.

I think there should be two options instead of one: one to allow them to communicate each other, and another to give them access to the private lan.

In that way we can manage the guest network as we need.

I agree, this funtionality needs to be functional. A guest network is just that "a guest network". I do not want my guests

to access the main r6400v2 wifi or wired networks. A guest wifi network should be separate. An example of what I'm 

looking to do, have my guest 5g network which will have google chromecast and my mobile cell phone on it. These two

devices need to be able to talk to each other. (mobile cell is the controller for chromecast).

Seems like what needs to happen is the check mark for "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" needs

to be 2 separate options, 1 for "Allow guests to see each other" and 1 for "Just Internet Access". And maybe another for

"Access to local network", these options should be selectable/unselectable individually.

Another way to think about it, a home network that has devices that do not need access to the entire "home" network.

Think of smart devices (they really only need internet access) (TV, streaming devices, etc.) With these devices being 

easily hackable, it would be best to have them isolated and have further configuration of the access they have to the 

internet and local networks.

MR60 / MS60 should allow SSID to VLAN tagging for different SSID's, guest network, etc in AP mode.
