BE98 Guest Network blocks all devices on LAN ports being able to interact

[miker33]

Hi All,

Properly having a head scratch moment here and I haven't got much hair left as it is lol

Had a very happily reliable AX88 and after getting my ISP upgraded to 2gb needed a router with a higher spec WAN port, got a great deal on BE98 but for the life of me I can't seem to get the guest network to be enabled and still retain communication between the physical LAN ports. Any ideas on what to try, I've checked and it's not set to share the same subnet etc but no matter what I switch on\off it simply won't play ball

Kind Regards,
Mike

BE 98 Pro 3006.102.5 Upgrade LAN Port Issue

When I upgraded to 3006.102.5 my router's 2.5G LAN ports quit communicating with one another. I have two 2.5G and two 10G ports active. Each 2.5G port could communicate with the 10G ports but could not talk to each other. One 2.5 port has 3 aimesh and 9 cameras on it and a NAS on the other...

Thanks, yes I think it's the same. I randomly tried using the IoT mode rather than Guest Network choice after trying every combination of options I could find for the Guest option. It appears to work then, everything still seems to be blocked from getting from that IoT wifi network to the rest of my local devices (which was the whole point for me) but everything else on the LAN still works. Result lol
