Block access to main network, but allow guest access
So I was looking at how I wanted to handle my kids friend's access our network, and I definitely want them on the guest network. Not because I don't trust them specifically, but because I don't trust...

I know some say the Circle and Parental Controls may now work correctly. I thought three was a block device option as well in Circle?

I could certainly use Circle to block a device, but that is not what I want to do. I want to allow a device to connect ONLY to my guest network, and not the main network. Some might say "just change the main network password!", but that means I have to re-configure like 20-30 devices. I'd much rather the option of saying that MAC address uu:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz is not allowed to connect to my main network, but IS allowed to connect to the guest network.
