WNDR4500v2: Wireless isolation doesn't work on guest network
Hi, I have used this Router now for about 9 months and have been very happy with its performance. We have a home business and students regularly visit our home. We have recently had requests fo...
Confirmed the WNDR3700v2 firmware (even when loaded in a WNDR3800) allows for a Guest Network, that does not see the local network. Allow Local Access (unchecked), Wireless Isolation (unchecked). Guests can print to a printer on the Guest Network.
Well that's somehow funny as I just had to setup the GUEST wifi here too for some similar reason and figured out the exact same issue !
WiFi isolation is just a joke and not working at all....
Any advise from the community or Netgear support yet ?
Thanks.
Did you guys try pinging devices?
The settings are correct.
The only way to isolate the devices on the Guest Network is to enable "Wireless Isolation".
If a device is connected to the Guest Network and Wireless Isolation is enabled, computers on the Guest network will not be able to ping nor see each other.
If you're saying that it sees each other and can still ping, then this could be a firmware problem.
Did you try to re-flash the firmware of the router and do a factory reset?
