R8000 Guest Network Needs Separated Wireless Isolation and Local Network Access

Guest Network now combined the 2 functions "Wireless Isolation" and "Local Network Access" as a single option. In the old days, they are separate options.   My Chromecast does NOT work on Guest Net...

I'll have to switch to DD-WRT soon. I rent out an apartment above my garage, and provide a guest WiFi network. Obviously I don't want to give out access to my personal network.

 

However, they are unable to use chromcasts, printers, etc, unless AP isolation is disabled. Bundling these two separate options as a single option doesn't let me do what I need.
