XR700: Wireless isolation doesn't work on guest network
When I enable guest network, any user on the guest network is put on the same subnet as the main. I have "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" unchecked. Guest users are able to be pinged and to see my whole main network. This is a major problem if the guest network feature is unusable

Hi - if that is not working then something is definitely not correct. I recommend you contact NETGEAR's official support so they can escalate this issue: https://www.netgear.com/support/contact.aspx

Yes, even connection via guest wifi, you will be still in the same subnet which is correct.
for the isolation matter, I did not see it before. It's worth to dobule check.

You don't have to share your private WiFi password
Guests can't access shared LAN devices
