R8000 Guest Network Needs Separated Wireless Isolation and Local Network Access

Thanks cwcjr. I guess it is time to try out other routers. I guess that is the only way to deal with company's who do not seem to hear customer's voice. DawnM (Administrator) better respond tommorrow OR it is a new router for me.

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 Network because it needs to see other devices. I cannot select "Let devices see each other and allow access to my local network", it will defeat the purpose of using the Guest Network. My guests cannot use the Chromecast now because of this.

I need this fix very badly. I have been waiting for a long time for the fix to come, but it did not happen. Especially this is nothing new, it used to be there before. I didn't know why it was changed. I am sure I am not the only one who needed this. It just makes sense to have them separated.
