Implemented 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

Extending IoT and Guest network via Mesh is a must have feature for all Mesh enabled devices currently on the market!
#AX53 #AX55 Pro
Is there available list of devices that currently support this feature? It is not listed in device specifications.

agreed, extended iot/guest network should be available for all Easymesh enabled devices.
I have four AX1500. As a temp solution I made 1 node a standard router and just copied the network info from the main network. Not ideal but this worked for me since the orginal node was setup in the guest house.

BE800 has already supported extending the Guest and IoT networks via EasyMesh. Please check this thread: New Firmware for Archer BE800 V1 to Support VPN Merge,Guest/IoT Network Extend in EasyMesh, and More

If I get a new router that supports Guest & IOT, can I use my old routers as satellite devices and support Guest & IOT on them?

@alzap It seems that it will only work if those old routers support Guest and IOT. If they're older models that do not support Guest and IOT, than they still will not support Guest and IOT. That's basically the gist of the whole complaint with Easymesh.
