Guest Access Issues
When enabling the Guest Network on the Orbi (Firmware Version V1.4.0.34) there are a couple of troubling issues.

Re: Guest Access Issues
Feature, in AP mode there is no network traffic isolation that is why the checkbox is set and can't be unchecked

Re: Guest Access Issues
Sounds more like a liability than a feature. I don't think anyone would really want to run a guest network without being able to isolate traffic. I have another wireless router than can do this as an AP.
