On Orbi AXE11000 and AXE10000 why cant they at least isolate the IOT SSID like they do with the guest network. A device on the guest network can't see the other devices on the network access the admin portal. I can I access my router admin portal on the IOT SSID. I know the best option would be Vlan but Netgear doesn't want to do it. The hardware has plenty of processing power. With the lower Wifi security options on the IOT SSID but with full access to the whole network and admin portal the WPA3 is only as good as your lowest security allowed on IOT SSID. Not a lot features offered for a $1300 router.
