RAX36S Guest Network port restrictions

I have come across situations where when connected to the guest network, there are certain limitations. For instance, my wireless printer was not visible to my iphone airprint as a device.  I changed the wireless printer to connect to the main network and all is good.

 

Is there a document which lists the various restrictions of the guest network (such as blocked ports, etc) as opposed to the main network?  Or are these restrictions defined somewhere within the router config?

 

Thank You

They are not configurable. It's internal firmware low-leven stuff.

Guest network only works on WiFi, not LAN. It's separated from the main one by using virtual devices and firewall tools.

Re: RAX36S Guest Network port restrictions

are these virtual services and firewall tools configurable?  if so, where are they within the router admin interface...?

Or is it within the firmware...
