Blocking guest wireless access to 1 device only on network

Hi, I have a ORBI RBK50 Router and 1 Satellite unit with latest firmware.
For Guest wireless access, I want to bloc access to my NAS, whilst keep access to other devices like a printer and various media streaming devices for my guests.

Alas, not possible.  The original Orbi product line, including the RBK50 package, does provide an option that can be enabled (or left disabled):

This is an "all or nothing" situation.  There is no facility to block access to individual devices on the primary network.

 

The AX product line does not allow devices on the Guest WiFi network to reach the primary network.

 

To accomplish what you want is not a trivial undertaking.

 

Normally GN access to LAN side resources is blocked by default. I thought this was the case for the 50 series. I haven't had mine online in a while. There is no WEB UI option for blocking or unblocking GN access I believe, if you don't see anything on the WEB UI, it would be blocked by default.

Though I see that there maybe a check box here that allows GN access to LAN side sources:

What FW version are you using?
