Here is my rant then:
M4 in AP mode, enabled Guest mode surprise by me it is not Guest mode, you can still access everything from the main network thus THIS IS just a new SSID, do not baptize it as Guest TP-Link team. Ok I see many threads on that and it will be "fixed" in new firmware, so I wait.
Tried the default approach of setting it as a Router mode, as in my installation there is no problem doing that without changing hardware. So i do it:
- M4 is connected to the Switch and gets an ip of 10.0 subnet /24
- M4 Gateway is the ip of the VDSL Modem in the same subnet
- LAN IP of M4 is 192.168.1.1
Everything is working as it should be i think, I can ping and access machines on the main network in both LANs
I enabled Guest, connect to Guest Network and I can still access everything!!!!!!!!!!! Can I have an isolated Guest in any mode ?
ok so what is the deal with this ? is there any hope or I return to my old tp-link 6 years AP that had more options than this toaster ?
Looking forward for your replies tech team.
Regards,
Vassilis

ok, @ajharvey and @Kevin_Z i can confirm that the suggested solution now works. Connected two cables on the M4 in router mode then to the switch a discussed.
Guest network is isolated as designed.
Now the real question is, since M4 now handles all the traffic throughput of my LAN can it handle it ? i have a 50Mbit VDSL with 4 LAN computers and a few tablets and phones.

Hello, the Deco M4 has the gigabit ethernet port, it can handle the current throughput.
| Interface | 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports (WAN/LAN auto-sensing) per Deco unit |
|---|
You can take more time to verify its performance and stability.
Nice day.

@Kevin_Z , Thanks Kevin, so far i have no issues.
Is there any backup option of the configuration of M4? you know, IPs, settings, different names on the connected devices and icons

Running in accesspoint mode....X60 3x
Would love to have possibility to have EXTRA parameter in GUESTMODE with only gateway
ip-address to get access FIXED only to outside network/internet
This will indeed allow guest to get to the outside ONLY, without access to local resources,
both on the WiFi and the cabled LAN before the master X60
Kind regards....(ps: just installed 30 minutes ago, but very happy sofar)

To everyone in this thread:
I enjoyed the informativeness, the politeness and the no-bullsh*t approach during this whole thread.
I am really happy to see that things can work this way too.
Keep on being nice and efficient
