I had set up a small business with this Archer C3150 router years ago, and it worked fine - but recently, I had to change to a wired-only Cisco router to accommodate a change to a new phone provider. The C3150 didn't meet the security requirements for the new provider.

 

So I repurposed the C3150 as an access point. That works fine except for the guest Wi-Fi - which no longer works. It's not too surprising since this device isn't "routing" anymore. I've disabled the guest's WiFi. Is there any way I can re-enable the guest's Wifi so that it works again?

I am afraid guest network will not work in AP mode, or at least it cannot isolate with the main network.

 

If you don't mind double NATs, you could change the C3150 back to router mode.
