RBK850 - Access Control and Guest Network Blocking

RBK850 - Access Control and Guest Network Blocking

Hello!  Is there a way to use Access Control with the default set to "Block" but allow devices to join the Guest Network?  I want to prevent new devices from joining the primary Home network (hence the Block setting) but allow people who visit the house to use the Guest Network.  Right now it looks like Access Control is all or nothing (i.e. if I have it set to block, it won't even let people join the guest network).

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
