Extend Guest and IoT wifi to Easymesh nodes
Pretty much as the picture describes. I have a BE3600 (archer BE230) in my office, where the fiber box is located, and I am using an AX72 Pro in my living room to create a mesh network in the whole house with a CAT6 creating the backhaul connetion between the two.
The main wifi mesh network is working flawlessly, as i am getting high speeds in all the house with quite seamless AP roaming, and both nodes are updated to the latest firmware.
The problem is that the guest network is not being "replicated" from the AX72 Pro in the living room, where i actually need it the most (I have NAS and other sensible equipment to which I would not like to give guests access, if possible).
I know for sure that it is not impossible to have a system like this to work, as I have just upgraded from a mercusys AX3000 mesh system that supported whole house mesh with both main and guest networks, while costing half of the combineation of BE3600 and AX72Pro

No please, guest is the only thing that allow stick some devices to main router like cams and iot, without allowing them see each other and access intranet.
I have 5 devices that i DONT NEED to connect satellite routers

I just purchased a BE3600 and liked the idea of the separate IoT network to keep all my devices organized on their own network. I managed to set up a mesh network with my AX21 and started moving all my devices to the IoT network only to get alerts that the devices near the AX21 had poor signal strenth. After doing a little testing I found the IoT network was only being broadcast from the BE3600 and not the AX21. I previously had the AX21 set up as a WAP instead of using EasyMesh. Now the question is do I turn off EashMesh and go back to WAP mode, or just switch those devices to my 2.5G network instead of the IoT network. It's a shame this doesn't work yet.

Hello,
Iot and guest over easymesh should be available on TP-Link routers!
I am content with the mesh in general (ax73 as master, two ax23, ax12 and mercusys mr70x as clients),
But I am missing iot and guest option!
And it is pretty long time from the demand on TP-Link forum!
Will we be pushed to OpenWRT mesh from TP-Link?
@zeljkoo If ASUS could get their firmware stable I would not have made the mistake of buying the GE800 and 2 BE900s.
The propagation of the IoT and guest networks needs to be supported, at least when using TP Link routers.
If it can't be done by the time ASUS fixes their GT-BE98 and ZenWiFi BQ16 firmware I'll box these up and not buy TP Link routers again.
I guess that me not buying or recommending any Deco (I have a BE85 3 pack) or Archer devices is not a big deal for TP Link but it's all I can do to protest.
