[Feature Request] LAN port to guest network

Dear GL.iNet!

Network port management appeared in firmware 4.7.0 (Flint 2). Thanks about this!

In this regard, I would like to make a request to expand the functionality of this management. I mean assigning a selected port to a guest network.

There was a guide on the forum on assigning ports via the Luci interface, but I would like to have such a function in the GL interface, accessible to less advanced users :slight_smile:

A simple switch, and optionally allow/block the guest network to see devices in the main network, as well as a configurable ability to see a DLNA server in the main network from the guest network.

Thank you!

Could you give an example for why do you need a LAN port assigned to a GUEST?

For example, to connect a corporate laptop. Work from home. And other employees connect to this laptop via a remote desktop. I would like to separate the home network. The solution through Windows policies is not suitable. This is a small example. One way or another, there are many scenarios for using a guest network via a LAN port.

You can do all of this on the current feature available on the Admin Panel --> Wireless --> Enable Guest Wifi

well gl-inet doesn't give vlan control. So i could see this as a work-around to create a vlan style guest network that can also be used by hard lined devices. As it currently stands, the guest network is only available via WiFi.

Dear Renato.
I ask you to pay attention to the topic title. Look, there is no mention of Wi-Fi. And there are reasons for that.
Thank you.
