My main router has Guest capabilities, which means that devices connected to the guest network cannot share data with my computer or any other devices on the network. It is my understanding that devices that would connect to the EX7000 would not be able to connect to the Guest network. Is this correct? With my present system, without the EX7000, I have my Alexa devices use the Guest network as a security precaution. It appears that if the Alexa devices were to connect to the EX7000 I would loose the Guest network capability. Is this true?
Thanks.

Hi @eewoz, welcome to the community! The Guest Network is treated as an isolated network unless your router has a feature that can allow the devices that connect to the Guest Network to communicate to the main network. Are you looking to connect the EX7000 to the Guest Network of your router or to the main network?
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that the EX7000 would extend both networks, but I am now learning that that is not the case. I will be extending the Guest network, which in the end should work out fine.
