R7450 AP Mode Stop Guest access LAN
I am new to AP Mode I have a R7450 router and have placed it into AP mode. I connected the WAN RJ45 to a LAN RJ45 on another Netgear Router (This is the one that is in normal router mode that actually has a connection to the internet) I will call this the "Master router" The Master router is a R6350 and is configured as follows: WAN RJ45 is connected to the ISP gateway LAN RJ45 has a wired uplink to the R7450 (the one in AP mode) The Guest Network WiFi is enabled and I don't allow guest devices to see each other or access my local network The Slave router (R7450) running in AP Mode is configured as follows: WAN RJ45 has a wired uplink to the R6350 (the master running in normal router mode) The Guest Network WiFi is enabled. The picks to allow guests to see each other is "greyed out" (I can't change it) but it does looked "checked" When I connect to the Guest Network on the AP router (R7450 - Slave) I am able to see everything on the LAN back at the Master router (R6350) I am even able to log onto the R6350 using a guest connection on the AP. My question is how do I stop guest devices on the AP router from getting to my LAN? How do I lock a guest down to internet only?R7450 Bridge Mode Configuration
I am new to Bridge Mode I have a R7450 router and have managed to place it in bridge mode. I chose to connect to 5GHz SSID on another WiFi router and got it to connect. Wired devices connected to the RJ45 ports on the R7450 work great and are able to get to the internet across the bridge. The description in the User manual is rather vague so I want to ask a few questions to see if can get it to do more. If I am bridging using 5GHz radio is there a way to use the 2.4GHz radio (that is currently doing absolutely nothing) to work as an Access Point? That way wireless devices in the remote area can use the bridge too. There is no description in the manual about what can be used on the RJ45 ports. Can the WAN RJ45 port be used for anything while in bridge mode? Or is it just the 4 LAN ports I can use? Once in Bridge Mode how do I view the WiFi SSID I am currently connected to or chose a different WiFi connection? Thanks
