Guest network

Hi I couldn't find the Guest Network function in my RBR50 menu. I saw people complainig for the guest network being disruptive on ORBI systems. Does anybody knows anything about it? Are they planning to solve the problem  and reactivate the guest network function in the next firmware?

Thank you.

Re: Guest network

What firmware are your Orbi's on? As far as I know version 2.0.x.x supports the guest network just fine. The complaints being that you cannot turn it off and on without disrupting the main network as the router seems to reboot when you do that.

Re: Guest network

Hi AAZ,
I installed the latest firmware upgrade manually and everything works just fine now. I don't actually need to switch on and off the guest network, therefore the forced disruptive system reload issue doesn't affect me.
Thank you for your support.

Re: Guest network

Guest network functions to provide Internet access to devices. It does not provide complete isolation when the Orbi is used in AP mode however.
