Model: Archer AX53  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.4 Build 20250603 rel.74380(4252)

Hello, I am a user of the Archer AX3000 and I have a suggestion for a future firmware update.Currently, when I enable MAC Filtering (Whitelist mode), it blocks all connections globally, including the Guest Network. This makes the Guest Network feature useless because I still have to manually add every visitor's MAC address to the whitelist.With the rise of "Random MAC/Private Address" on Android and iOS, MAC Whitelisting is the only effective way to stop neighbors from using my main network. However, I need the Guest Network to be an exception. Please add an option to "Bypass MAC Filtering for Guest Network" so visitors can connect using only a password, while the Main Network remains protected by the MAC Whitelist.This would greatly improve the user experience for everyone dealing with unwanted neighbors.Thank you!
