Model: Archer AX1500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have an AX 1500 in passthrough mode (i.e. set up as an access point) downstream from my main router. I'm using it only for a guest wireless. I need to have a printer for these guests so I activated the guest permission option "allow guests to see each other", with the option "allow guests to access your local network" left off. The guest printer works fine for my guests, but unfortunately, those guests can now see everything else on my main router as if I had clicked that second option. Of course if I turn off both options, my main network is invisible, but so is my guest printer. Any suggestions? Perhaps the guest permissions don't work as advertised when configured as an acess point?

 

Thanks,

Steve

It sounds like you may be right about the options work different when in AP mode. Not what I would expect to happen. 

 

Can you move the printer to the AP and would that solve the issue? Would you be able to see the printer from the main router devices?
