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...
Yes - it is silly to combine the two security restrictions. I would like the Guest Network devices to be able to see each other (a la Chromecast), but not see my home network. Netgear, you are forcing your customers to create gaping security holes to accomodate any insecure guest (i.e. IoT) device that needs to communicate with another insecure guest device. When is this going to be fixed?
