NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
The Orbi Guest Network settings has checkbox option for, "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network". These TWO options must be separated as other routers do. Others before me have pointed out how having these two options treated as one is a security flaw, and defeats the whole point of having a GUEST network.
Guests may want to play games with other, use their wireless printer or connect their phones to Chromecast. They should be be able to do this without having access to the entire main network.
I hope that the next firmware remedies this.

Actually you might check out Orbi Pro versions of NG MESH. Most low end or home class systems like Orbi (non Pro) and MK systems do not support any VLAN Tagging on SSIDs. Most home users don't have a need for SSID VLAN Tagging. It's recommended that users first research and do there due diligence in to a prospective wifi system before buying something.
