Still no Guest Wifi Internet Access

[ade1982]

Morning,

We have 6 Whole Home disks, latest firmware. connected successfully. Wifi works fine over the whole area. 

DNS / DHCP is running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Discs have statically assigned IP addresses. 

Gateway address: 172.20.0.1, router address, DNS server is: 172.20.0.51. Whole Home discs are on the same subnet (range 172.20.0.201 - 172.20.0.206) Gateway is set on the app to both of the above.

We want to have Guest Wifi for customers, and it just shows as connected - no internet. 

I have seen this has been a long-reported issue, which has been promised to be fixed in various firmware updates, has it?

Many thanks

Adrian

shouldn't have said customers ... "guests"

if you are a residential customer then you need to buy third party router to get that facility

I have a Zyxel router in place. This is a long standing bug on an advertised feature of the Whole Home system.

Hi @ade1982 have you followed these instructions to set up the Guest network on your whole home wifi discs?

Hi

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have. It shows up, laptop gets a valid IP address from the discs, but is not able to resolve DNS. Works as expected on the non-guest, core network.

It appears to be a similar bug reported in December here
