[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1927028, member: 396914"] And ditto from me on what LIAB said. You can still keep Guest, if you want, for those IoT things that you are concerned about, but consolidate both Guest and non-Guest to use both bands, 2.4gHz and 5gHz and let the devices do what they do, pick the strongest and best signal. Your wife will never know that the iPad has switched from one to the other and the printer will just be there with no action needed on her part. And despite the fact that both non-Guest and Guest will both use both bands, they will be relatively isolated by the router and devices in Guest, regardless of band, won't see devices in non-Guest, regardless of band. As for the printer, I don't think there is any known hacks to printers to have them do havoc on LANs. Printers are, in the end, relatively stupid devices. [/QUOTE]
