I was shocked when I found out that the guest and Iot networks would only come out of the main router and not the mesh satellites so this suggestion should have been considered when making your devices mashable in the first place.

  @Exostenza don't forget the MLO SSID is not propagated either. A WiFi 7 specific feature which should be supported on the mesh if the satellites are WiFi 7 and support it themselves.

Dear tp-link,

 

We are in front a typical case of Misleading Advertising, simply it's not possible that you put in the specifications of the product box "Security: Guest Network and IoT" and 2 lines after "EasyMesh Compatible" and then we found out they can't work together:
 

 

 

I bought 2 x BE230 + AX55 Pro to upgrade my network and I want to use all the features that I paid for. I can't accept other way.

Please re visit your marketing decisions and make this features available. Thanks.

Apparently it's possible. We are still waiting for this very important feature.

 +1 as well. Just spent about $700 upgrading our network and was shocked as well. Made sure to get the new expensive range extender cuz I thought for sure it would be the best for easymesh. None of my upstairs IOT devices will stay connected to the main router. We have the extender upstairs. Please please put out a firmware update for this. I did see they have a beta with this feature coming to some of the other routers. Hopefully it will come to all easymesh devices!

This is an essential and fundamental feature. It is ridiculous that the guest network cannot be replicated via the mesh system. I'll warn others from purchasing TP-Link until this feature is implemented ASAP!

  @osaya and don't forget the MLO SSID for WiFi 7 devices in not available over the mesh either.

I've stopped using my TP-link routers mostly because of this and my Security subscriptions will be canceled as well if it's not implemented.

I bought three BE9300 to use in a mesh a few months back - a fairly significant invetment - thinking that I was getting guest functionality over the mesh. Why wouldn't you think that, right?

 

We have dog sitters, house sitters etc. and I don't want them to have full network access.

 

Serious buyer's remorse now.

 

I will not buy from tp-link again, and have been actively advising friends and colleagues not to do so.  With misleading marketing and a lack of urgency to get this fundamental (and advertised!) feature implemented, the damage to the brand is done in my mind.

Fix this problem! No one will buy Deco instead. They rather go to Ubiqity.

This is crazy. TPLink is synonimous with quality and good experience but not having this feature is difficult to understand. The features shown in the router boxes are not fair since the feature is not available.

 

I was recommending this solution to my friends but I´ll them to change to another option in addition to returning back my recently purcharse.

 

Thanks so much to this community.
