Turn on/off network isolation on guest
I would like to be able to turn on/off network isolation on the guest SSID. These devices do not need to see the main network
Use Case:
I have many IOT devices that are using guest. Why? they do not need to be on the main network with my NAS and other devices that may have a different class of data.
These devices like plugs, Light switches, thermostats do require for some configurations or firmware updates that your phone/tablet/pc is on the same network to upgrade them. This is not possible as devices look to be disabled from discovering each other. Having an option to turn this on/off resolves the problem.

Not a bad idea but a better solution is to have them add a separate IOT network that can me turned on. That way one could still use the guest network feature for it’s intended purpose.

I have similar issues with the Eero (lack of advanced features) but I like the grid network and how it extends Internet across my large property. What I do is I hang another router off the Gateway Eero and use that router for a network that needs more advanced features. That comes with one huge problem though is, many of the features of IOT devices require sharing a common network (IP Subnet) and hanging another router off the Eero requires another subnet and thus devices requiring broadcast functionality don't work.
I'm seeing that the guest network has isolation turned on, and I want it off. There seems to be no option for that.
