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

The same problem applies to BE550. No IoT capability, no MLO capability, no guest network capability. It only mercifully broadcasts the signal of the basic 2.4, 5, 6 GHz network. You buy the second router in the price queue with the EasMesch function, and as a result, only 30 percent of the router's capabilities work. This is really a scandal. Especially since there is no clear information about this when you intend to buy this router, which is supposed to work in the network as an EasyMesch satellite

This is badly needed, I also spent a lot of money thinking at least this would be implemented as part of the mesh functionality. But this request is over 9 months old, clearly you have no intention of making the Archer mesh viable functionality!

After many attempts to make the Guest and IoT networks work on the EasyMesh satellite routers, I discovered a workaround that saved my network here and I think it can help many who are having the same problem.
So, I have 3x AX72 routers connected to EasyMesh via ethernet backhaul, and many IoT devices and cameras that had a degraded signal because they were unable to connect to the main router's IoT network.
Below is the procedure I followed and it worked:
- Restart the satellite router
- Then, access the Tether app and log in with the TP-link ID, on the main page of my devices, keep refreshing until the satellite router that was restarted becomes available for access via the Cloud (without the gray color)
- When you access it, go to the IoT Network option and enable the network but with a different SSID from the main router, do the same process for the Guest network, and apply the settings
- After that, the router will connect to Easy Mesh and the new IoT network is available to connect to your devices.

@Gualano Thank you very much for sharing this! i Was able to replicate on my AX55 (satellite node) after many reboots, so now i have a separate SSID for guests. The problems are that the VLAN is the same as the main SSID and it does not really mesh the gust network, but still much better than nothing, thank you again! Let's hope that Tp-link wakes up and implements this as the routers are absolutely capable of this.
