Guest network settings for RAX50v2

Guest network settings in RAX50v2 shows this checkbox

 

- Allow guests to see each other and my local network

 

Is there a way to only allow guest to see each other but not my local network? Maybe with firmware upgrade?

Why did Netgear combine these 2 options?

Nope

and NG didn't combine them. It's the same on other brands as well.

I have a TP-Link router. It has separate check boxes for

- allow guests to see each other

- allow guests to access my network

 

Can Netgear make a new firmware version and make these separate checkboxes.

You can suggest it but its not likely to happen as not much happens on the idea's exchange.

May not happen either as NG addresses security concerns over use and access of router and network resources by guest devices. May take a stance that Guest Network has access to the internet however in keeping with good security measures, keep guest from each other and LAN side network resources. Security is more and more involved these days in many ways.
