Orbi guest network has no internet in AP mode.

Hi,

Just purchased Orbi to use in AP mode for wireless only behind Untangle and when you untick "Allow Guest to see each other and access my local network" there is no Internet. The reason is that DHCP usually sends out the private IP address of the router to use for DNS and if your blocking your LAN from Quest it can't get DNS for the Internet to work. Netgear are you working on a fix or should I return Orbi for the second time?

Hello ItGeeks

 

Have you updated to the latest firmware?

DarrenM,

 

This is a known issue, I think - guest with isolation has been broken in AP mode for the last two releases.
