Guest network in bridge mode?

I have three AX1800 units, one connected to the internet router (do many/any domestic installations have a "bare" modem these days?) and the other two connected by WiFi.

The "guest" network seems to have disappeared. I did have NAT mode set initially, which is perhaps when I saw the guest network. Does it not work in bridge mode ()?

The manual (yes, I looked) says go to the WiFi page from the home page of the app and simply enable the guest network, but it is not there to be enabled in my app.

    Hi @MarkRS

    The Guest Wi-Fi Network is not available in bridge mode.
    For more information you can refer to User Guide Pg 138

  • Thanks for that Jerry, I'm not sure how I didn't see that.

    So how do I provide a guest network? My Multy M1 router is (ethernet) connected to a (Zyxel) VMG3925-B10B, currently I've got its WiFi turned off. I know it can provide a guest network, but will this interfere with the Multy WiFi?

    Hi @MarkRS

    Since you're using bridge mode, the guest wifi network is not available, if would like to use the guest wifi, it required to change to router/NAT/standard mode.
