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

Not sure tplink is actually listening. It's almost 2 years.

You are absolutely correct. They are not listening. When I was trying to figure this out, I found a post on another part of their forum. A TP-Link representative asked that another thread specific to this issue be made, so they could gauge it's needs. Gauge it's needs is my wording. I don't recall the exact phrase. This thread was made and NOTHING has happened since. I just recently had a guest at my home and they connected to my guest. They moved to another room and lost connection (within 6 feet of a BE230). They worked on trying to figure out what was wrong with their laptop for quite some time before I realized they had lost connection and told them. Not too convenient and a little embarrassing. I have a GE650 as my main router, with two BE230's as mesh nodes. You can see I spent a little bit with TP-Link but haven't been happy waiting for them to do something about this basic feature omission. They give the occasional, we are working on it, but nothing seems to ever happen. DON'T ADVERTISE EASYMESH IF YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE IT.
