Guest Network for Ethernet Devices (ET9)

[RangerZ]

I am setting up a 4 pack of ET9's for a friend. The plan is to move the IOT to one of the Guest networks, but we have a Eufy wireless camera and HomeBase 3 Storage (S380?). While the camera is wireless, the storage device is Ethernet.

I am not seeing any obvious way to "assign" the Ethernet Device to a "Guest" wireless network.

ATM, the only thing I can think of is to use one of the ET9 (or an old RT-N66R) and set it up as a wireless bridge\repeater connected to the Guest LAN and use it's Ethernet to connect the HomeBase. I do not plan to use the wireless, just the Ethernet.

Reading the manual, page 83, it seems like the only secured option is WEP and that this is not an option for a Guest LAN (at least on my CT8). I expected that I would just take a node, reset it and config it as a repeater and then give it some creds.

I'm also not clear if the repeater is on the same subnet?

Indirectly related, has anyone had issues by hiding the Guest network for devices with saved creds?

Any one have a suggestion?

Thanks

You can't with the ET9, or any other model that can't run the 3.0.0.6.102 firmware.

Don't use WDS. Setup the "ethernet" node in Media Bridge mode.

Clients connected to a repeater or media bridge will be on the same network as the wireless access point that device connects to.

Good friend? I wouldn't do this to a good friend.

There is no Guest Network to LAN port option on ET9.

and set it up as a wireless bridge\repeater

You need a router with Media Bridge option (the way ASUS calls wireless bridge), it works with WPA2 encryption and the LAN ports will be on the same subnet. This is kind of fixing the initial wrong equipment choice though. Solution with lower reliability and wasting wireless airtime.
