Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.14 Build 20211118 rel.43110(4555)

As the title says, full access is available to all guest clients regardless of this setting.

 

Device is in Access Point mode - where all you'd really want is for guest clients to send packets to the gateway and nowhere else.

 

Otherwise what's guest mode for? It's just a second password on the same wifi, with the same access....

 

Hardware is actually V3.2, but the selection above doesn't have that value.

  @terziyski I don't know why there is a checkbox option for "Allow guests to access each other" if it doesn't do anything.

 

Really, the "Guest Network" is a total waste of time then - offers nothing you'd want of such a thing (restricted access). It's just the same network, same access, same unlimited privileges just on a different SSID and password.
