Model: RE500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.4

Por favor podrian añadir RED de INVITADO al RE500X ? Tengo un PLC-WPA4220 que si lo trae de serie, pero es solo wifi N. Seria lógico y de agradecer que lo incluyesen en modelos superiores WIFI6 como el RE500X. Muchas gracias.

  Hello @HOMELAB 

Thank you for the feedback, range extender repeats the signal of router, Range extender itself does not have Guest Wi-Fi. 

Anyone who is interested in this feature, feel free to leave your comment below or thumb up for this feature. 

 

Here are some workaround if you wish to have an extended Wifi network for Guest user. 

1. range extender could either connect to Main Wi-Fi network or Guest Wi-Fi network of router,

you could consider connecting a range extender to the Guest Wi-Fi of the router to extend the Guest Wi-Fi.

 

2. For dual-band range extender, you could use  different SSIDs for 2.4Ghz/5Ghz bands , and use one Wi-Fi Band for the guest users. 

The disadvantage is the extended Wi-Fi network and Main Wifi network of router are in the same network.

  @Solla-topee Hello and thanks for your answer. I use the repeater via AP mode, so I cannot link with the guest network of the router. I have another repeater via PLC in AP mode, the TL-WPA4220, and has this feature. I will be nice the same feature for the RE500X, is possible. thanks

  @Solla-topee   It's sad to hear that. Does TP-Link seem to limit its functionalities in its new and more advanced models? It's a bit strange, isn't it?

I would also be interested in this feature and agree with @HOMELAB that it's a bit strange to limit functionalities in new and more advanced models. Please add guest network setup to the product.
