NightHawk AXE11000 Guest Network is wide open to my stuff
So the old router died and I got an AXE11000 delivered today. We have a bed and breakfast and wanted a Guest Network. You would think that would be easy to set up and keep the guests out of my server...

Do you have the ATT router still running as a router and with wifi enabled here? YES
Brand and model# of the ATT router please. BGW210-700 8/5/2018
If you setup the RAXE500 router behind the ATT router, there could still be a chance to access some resources on the ATT router.
Does the ATT router have a guest network there? NO, ELSE I WOULD USE IT
Have you set up the Guest Network on the RAXE router? YES
How do you have that configured? 2G ON WITH DIFFERENT NAME AND PW, OTHERS OFF

You may need to move all networking recources OFF the ATT router to the RAXE router so that those resources can be blocked by Guests when connected to the RAXE router. Otherwise, Guest Network is not being blocked fully for LAN side resources when traffic from the RAXE router come into the ATT router. There is no separation here with two routers online though would be different subnets.
