Future Consideration make Guest and IoT Networks Mesh-able and extendable
as per title, and per image bellow:
it is absolutely useless to have an option to enable Guest and IoT Network if they are NOT transmitted/extended by EasyMesh
we have guests up there and surprise-surprise we also have a lot of IoT devices up there and all over the place. whole point of having Geust and IoT Network is to unload and secure the main wifi network. it is unacceptable to not have an option to extend those too.
what if we want to connect IoT devices up there too? or what if we do not need Guest Network down there at all, only up?
therefore, make it happen to be able to select multiple (at least) 2,4Ghz SSIDs to be extended when establishing EasyMesh Network
as things are now we can do only:
- not use Guest and IoT Networks and have all devices and guests on the main wifi network
- buy 4 more extenders to extend Guest and IoT Networks in two directions (UNACCEPTABLE) and even with those 4 more extenders they won't be part of EasyMesh
- complain, suggest future request, wait and finally sell all TP-Link faulty products and move to other brand which supports such basic functionality

@hWmMzIfYNRISEgn no I have a BE800 router with 2 BE230 routers and even those can't extend the guest and iot network, unless I'm missing something, but whenever I google I get the same conclusion, so I doubt it's locked away for BExxxx models, or do you mean even more expensive routers, that's absurd if so.

If it's not technically possible, at least say so now, openly and frankly.

as per this recent post on January 2026, you can see that TP-Link is NOT taking this fundamental request seriously.
I suggest we start talking about what other brands of mesh routers we should look into buying instead as TP-Link does not have any specific plans or intention to extend Guest and IoT networks to its mesh network.
does anyone want to get rolling with suggesting other brands we should look into that provides this functionality?
