Security Question about Guest WLAN
Model : TL-WPA8730KIT
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : TL-WPA8730(EU)_V1_170407(AP)
ISP : Unitymedia
Hello,
yesterday i changed my good old 4220 Kit into a new 8730 Kit, because it wanted to expand on the 5GHz WLAN.
The new KIT is working perfectly, bringing me a speed boost from ~130MBit up to 400-800MBit on the new adapters :)
My question is about the guest network.
I can enable the guest WLAN at the 8730 adapter, but does this separate this network from the rest network when the Router itself has 4 LAN ports where other devices are connected to?
In my special case i got a bluray player, xbox and my nas attached to the router. The 4th lan port is connected to the 8010 adapter. In my view this gives the guests access to this 3 devices. The guest network should be only inside the powerline network, or am i wrong at this point?
With best regards,
Michael
