  @Kevin_Z I installed this firmware on my WA3001 configured with multi-SSID mode, but I'm not seeing any differences in the configuration UI at all other than an updated firmware version. I don't see an option to add a Guest network when using multi-SSID mode, although it's not entirely clear what is meant by "Guest Network" in the release notes.

@lazycs Thank you very much for installing the pre-released version and providing feedback.

 

Can you please show us some screenshots after configuring Multi-SSID mode? Is there no Guest Network menu or setting?

@Kevin_Z I've attached some screenshots (SSIDs and passwords removed), but I don't see any references to Guest Network. Should I look in a different settings section?

@lazycs 

 

Thank you very much for all the screenshots and follow-up.

 

We've confirmed with the development team that the WA3001 does not support Guest Network when operating in Multi-SSID mode. I have updated the thread to reflect this correction. Apologies for the misleading information.

@Kevin_Z Thank you for confirming! Do you know if there are any new features in this firmware release for the WA3001 in Multi-SSID mode? One feature request I have is the ability to enable/disable AP Isolation per wireless network instead of having it as a global setting. The ability to enable this for only certain networks would be roughly equivalent to having a guest network feature in Multi SSID mode.
