Orbi guest network setup

I have a question before I buy the Orbi. Can you enable the guest network when bridge/AP mode is selected?

I have an Orbi in AP mode and the option to enable the Guest Network is present.

...but useless, currently.  There's no LAN isolation whatsoever in AP mode.

Good point.  Not completely useless though.  You can still avoid giving out your normal WiFi password to guests, and maybe you aren't concerned about them snooping on your network.  I think one of the mods said isolation would be available in a future firmware release.
