Any workaround to expand Guest Network 'features' on Mesh for IoT Devices | AX86U

[Mariano]

Hello SNB Users,

last week I bought an Asus XT8 (stock firmware) to expand the WIFI range of our AX86U. Now I had to realize, that I can't 'expand' the Guest Networks, which I use for all the IoT devices, as I want to hold them separated from my other devices on my LAN.
Is there a workaround to use a separated or protected wireless network over the Zenwifi XT8 without giving access to my other devices or providing my main WIFI password?

I also don´t know the benefits of the Merlin builds for the Zenwifi XT8, as it could provide any beneficial settings?

You can propagate only the first guest network on each band to AiMesh nodes.

This is why I decided to use the AX86U [with radios turned off], and the Orbi RBR850 as an AP. 3 SSIDs available, one being dedicated for IoT.
