Archer C64 guest network in AP mode has access to LAN
TP-Link Archer C64 in AP mode allows guests (connected to guest ssid) to access the main router WebUI and othern devices on LAN. How do I change this behavior?

This cannot be configured on the Archer C64. Imagine when the router is working in AP mode, and it is allowed to configure isolation between the main and the guest, the devices connected to the guest will not be able to access the internet, as it cannot communicate with the gateway in this configuration.
When working in AP mode, the main reason to have the main network and the guest network is to distinguish the two, as some customers prefer not to share the wireless credentials with guests.

@Kevin_Z But couldn't TP-LINK just programmed the guest network to be able to just access the gateway, right? This makes the guest network option useless in my opinion.

Check this thread's discussions on that matter. Go through this FAQ to see the difference between Router Mode and AP mode (at the bottom of the documents this behavior is described as well).
