Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: V1.0 (1.3.0 3.0.0 v60d8.0 Build 250814 Rel.61278n)

I'd like to see support for creating a guest network on my mobile 5G router. I'm currently achieving this by using the 2.4 GHz band and ticking the box to isolate the clients from each other. However, this has the following limitations::

  • Storage sharing can only be enabled globally, not per SSID
  • All SSIDs share the same DHCP subnet
  • Router management interface (Web GUI) remains accessible
  • No clear visual or logical separation between trusted and guest clients

It would be best to have a dedicated guest network option, which allows me to specify a second DHCP range, automatically isolates all clients from each other and prevents access to internal functions like the shared storage and the admin GUI. In short, the following features are wanted:

  • Separate SSID clearly labeled as Guest
  • Independent DHCP range / subnet
  • Mandatory client isolation
  • Block access to:

    • Admin / Web GUI

    • Shared storage

  • Don't use VPN connection

 

This is a standard feature on most (mobile) routers and I'm kind of disappointed that it isn't on this otherwise superb device.
