Guest network with Access point

Hi

My question is a bout setting up guest network while in AP mode.

I understand that AP mode is just passs through but any ideas if possible?

I have a main router and the RAX80 is connected to it as AP.

I have a guest network setup on the main router but I want to move it to the RAX80 and isolate the network ( stronger signal).

is it possible to define any kind of a VLAN on the RAX80 in AP mode that will seperate between the main network and the Guest nework?

      The following router features are not available (grayed out) when
      the router is in AP mode:

 

          o Guest Network
          [...]

 

   On these routers, a "guest" network is not a separate network, but
there are firewall-like rules (enabled by default) which can limit the
ability of "guest" client devices to communicate with non-guest client
devices.  (Those firewall-like rules are implemented in the router
section of the device, which is why that functionality is lost when the
router is configured as a wireless access point.)

   I'm unaware of any such thing.
