How to Set up Multi-SSID in VX420-G2h (AX5400) TPG Supplied Modem/Router
G'day, I've been trying to work out how to setup the Multi-SSID in the VX420-G2h (AX5400) Modem/Router supplied by TPG for the home network.
(NOTE: The model of my modem/router as stated above is not an AC500, my modem/router is not listed as an option, I had to choose something. )
I'm using a WiFi extender, RE305, and have that connected to a Multi-SSID as per the following options;
See each other: Allow guests to see each other (unchecked)
Access my local network: Allow guests to access to my local network (unchecked)
USB Storage Sharing: Allow guests to access my USB Storage Sharing (unchecked)
I expected that by setting up a Multi-SSID as per the options above and connecting the RE305 to said Multi-SSID that the RE305 would be denied any access to any shares on the network, and subsequently then connecting a device (phone, laptop, etc) to the RE305 that any shares on the network won't be accessible.
Yet after setting up a Multi-SSID for the RE305 and connecting my device to the RE305 I can still access everything across the network without any problems.
But, when I connect my device directly to the Multi-SSID in the modem/router it works as expected, I do not have access to any shares across the network.
How is it possible that despite connecting the RE305 to the same Multi-SSID I had my device connected to, for which I have no access to any shares, that the RE305 seems to circumvent the security protocols of that particular Multi-SSID and gives me access to all the shares?
How do I utilise the Multi-SSID so any shares across the network are not available to anyone connecting via the RE305?
Is that even possible or am I completely misunderstanding something here. Have I misunderstand what the use of a Multi-SSID is for?
Any help, advice or explanation you can give me is hugely appreciated, thank you.
Cheers,
Alan
