Orbi Guest Network Access Control
If the access control option to Block all new devices is selected, do this also block all new devices from accessing the Guest network ? If so, how does one block just new devices on the non-guest Network & allow Guests to access the Guest network?

Hello LarryC1957
It shouldn't block devices on the guest network if it is isolated from the main network.

Hello tsutaz
Have you updated to the latest firmware 1.4.0.34 customers have reported that is has been fixing the issue where devices show as blocked.

Re: Orbi Guest Network Access Control
The access control "black all new devices" definitely does block any request to the Orbi system. That includes Guest or the standard SSID. I have not found a way to separate this. However, that is my preference anyway as the guest network utilizes a less secure password and for that I want the added security benefit.

Re: Orbi Guest Network Access Control
Oh yes, I have a 2 year old girl so I don't have that issue yet.
I think it would be very helpful if they could allow the genie app to unblock devices so that we can have people like our wifes easily do this. No way my wife will login to the webpage and try to find this.

Re: Orbi Guest Network Access Control
Is the Orbi guest Network isolated from the Non Guest Network by design ? If not, I guess the answers is when Block All Devices is on then all devices are blocked regardless of which network they're on.
