Uncheck Allow Guests to see each other still lets them see wired LAN

R6400v2

I finally was able to scan my Guest Network and realized that Unchecking this box in the Guest Network setup only applies to Wi-Fi connections.  Any hardwired LAN connections from the Router are seen and ping-able. This feature should isolate the Guest Network for both wireless and wired LAN connections.

So even though you have this disabled, Guest Network devices can still access and ping LAN ethernet connections or sources?
