Does XR700 Have Guest “Isolation” or Full Network Access
Hi all,
Does the XR700 actually isolate its guest network from all clients (wired and wireless) on the main (non-guest) network?
OR
Are clients on the guest network able to access or at the very least ping clients on the main non guest network?
There is a post from a few days ago where someone noted even when “allow access to other guests and main network” is NOT enabled a guest client can still ping a client on the main network.
There are routers that explicitly state their guest network is isolated but the XR700 does not state this yet it does have the above option that doesn’t seem to prevent access to the main network.
Are there any users who can verify the guest network is in fact isolated or not and for the purposes of this post I’ll define isolation as not even allowing a ping from guest to main let alone higher access.
Thanks!

Not sure myself, might be worth pinging NETGEAR an email or asking the Nighthawk Pro Gaming Twitter account (if you use Twitter): https://twitter.com/NETGEARgaming
