When in Access Point mode, are the guest networks firewalled off from your private network?

No. This would not be possible without configuring a virtual lan to connect with the router to get the guest segment out to the internet. It seems like a great idea but when you go into AP mode you turn off the routing functionality and its ability to keep a guest network separate.

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

If you install a custom firmware such as Tomato you can create a guest wireless network that exists on on it's own virtual LAN.

No but in most routers there is a setting for "wireless isolation". This would separate off all clients from each other.

I asked the question and was told NO ... since you do not have access to the master password of the router that is providing the signal in the hotel.

The cisco connect software has an easy setup for your Guest account. http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E1000/downloads

yes, you can set up to three schedules. you can use these schedules in the firewall to limit access.

Gavin, I don't think so. I don't remember seeing a guest option and when I search on the word "guest" in the manual, it is not found. You can find a link to the manual here - http://www.asus.com/Networking/EAN66/HelpDesk_Manual/.

this does not however their wifi access points do. You can use this to manage routing and if you needed to create a virtual LAN and use their Unifi access point which have captive portal. (unless you needed it for wired connection then you have to look at another device)This device can do a lot - it is like another computer so eventually Ubiquiti might be able to integrate it.

Yes. You can see each of the guest network computers as well as each wired and wireless computer that is logged on. This is viewed under the Network Map tab then clients button. Each client is identified by name as well as the address being used. You can monitor all traffic, but cannot separate just the guest traffic alone from the other traffic, as far as I can see. Under the Traffic Monitor tab there is a large active chart that displays traffic in any of four different ways. You can choose to view Internet, Wired, Wireless 2.4G, or Wireless 5G. Of course if all my personal computers were set up to use 5G I could then set up a guest network so that it could only use 2.4G. Then all traffic being displayed on the Wireless 2.4G chart would reflect the guests usage. Of course this may not be practical. With this router you can set up 3 different 2.4G networks and 3 different 5G networks all at the same time. You can choose to password protect each individually or leave it open to all. You can also set a timer on each separately so that access to the particular guest network expires after a certain time. Once set up the way you want it, which is easy, you can activate or deactivate any or all of the guest networks with a click of a button. So you might choose to have several Guest Networks configured for various situations and then activate the appropriate one. Hope this helps. John P

Agree with response from Randy but add that if you have a good firewall setup you shouldn't need to powerdown the router or the drive. This also helps for timed backups during non-peak hours.

Yes. Once setup, it creates its own private network. You also need consider that the room needs an available Ethernet (with active internet) port for the router to work.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

I had to set this up on our guest network which used a different security profile (WPA used instead of WPA2). This seemed to make it work, but I haven't tried to connect again on the WPA2 network.

I believe I remember a way in the setup manual but I ended up not using this router because it would not work with my router without lowering the security level and I didn't want to do that. Wish they would have said that in the product description.

The RB/750 does have a firewall included. All MikroTik devices running RouterOS have extensive firewall capabilities.

I actually found a way - you delete the access points from the phone, except for the wifi ones. If the access points don't exist, then you can't connect via them.

I have the latest firmware installed and it can work like an access point now

I have wireless access points out in my warehouse plugged in to our switch via CAT5 cables. As the cpowb said, we set each one with a dedicated IP once- that way you know where it is if you need to make admin changes. Haven't had to maintain that part of the network since setup. Each radio in each access point has a unique name so we can tell which one a device is connected to.

The previous answers are correct, except for one feature that does requires the software to be running: the guest portal requires the UniFi Controller to be running.
