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

@emachestnut I also tried this using the instructions from @Gualano, but I don't see the satellite becoming available in the Tether app after reboot. It only shows up as a child of the main router.
You're just rebooting, not (factory) resetting, right?
@Marvin_S is this something that could officially be supported, if we don't get meshable IoT and guest networks? It would at least allow us to setup additional access points for the IoT/Guest networks. With the main network meshed, the only solution to extend the IoT/guest networks is to use an additional wifi-extender or AP device, which is a bit of a waste.

This is an essential home networking feature that is missing. Not mentioned ANYWHERE in any documentation. Spent so much money on a set up thta doesn't extend Guest and IoT and now can't return it. I will be advising all of my friends and colleagues to steer clear of TP-Link until this is fixed.
