Extend Guest and IoT wifi to Easymesh nodes
Pretty much as the picture describes. I have a BE3600 (archer BE230) in my office, where the fiber box is located, and I am using an AX72 Pro in my living room to create a mesh network in the whole house with a CAT6 creating the backhaul connetion between the two.
The main wifi mesh network is working flawlessly, as i am getting high speeds in all the house with quite seamless AP roaming, and both nodes are updated to the latest firmware.
The problem is that the guest network is not being "replicated" from the AX72 Pro in the living room, where i actually need it the most (I have NAS and other sensible equipment to which I would not like to give guests access, if possible).
I know for sure that it is not impossible to have a system like this to work, as I have just upgraded from a mercusys AX3000 mesh system that supported whole house mesh with both main and guest networks, while costing half of the combineation of BE3600 and AX72Pro
Hello all,
As far as I can confirm, the following models/versions have already received firmware updates to support extending the Guest/IoT Network via EasyMesh.
I'll provide a list for your reference to help with model selection, purchasing, and correctly configuring your Guest/IoT Network setups.
If you notice that I've missed any models, or if you find that a certain model does not, in fact, support this feature yet, please feel free to tag me for a double check.
