Not sure if this is what you are looking for? > [@Setting up LAN Guest Network on MT6000](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/setting-up-lan-guest-network-on-mt6000/54359): > > Hi, So tldr I just want to assign LAN5 port into a LAN Guest Network (instead of WiFi). I'll add in another switch to that port (WAVLINK AX3000M) for my guests outside my farm. Is it possible with my Flint 2? I also want to ask if a client/device is connected, it will show in my glinet admin clients page as guest (like the one with the guest wifi icon). I saw some workaround with Luci but I wanted to make sure first. I'm on 4.7.0-op24 thanks ---

Hi Please [SSH into the router](https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/tutorials/ssh_log_in_to_the_router/) and execute the following command to resolve the issue: ```auto uci delete network.guest.type uci set network.guest.device='br-guest' uci commit network echo -e "\nconfig device\n\toption name 'br-guest'\n\toption type 'bridge'" >> /etc/config/network reboot ``` ---

We believe it should not affect the built-in guest network. It will still be able to provide network access for other devices. ---

That worked a charm, Now unfortunately I can't access my cctc from my mobile as it's on the guest/IoT network, I know you need to portforward on the he router to access it but I can't remember how know, any idea? ---

Please see: > [@Turning Guest network into IoT - issue with firewall](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/turning-guest-network-into-iot-issue-with-firewall/64768/3): > > Hi If you want devices on the LAN to be able to access the Guest network, but not vice versa, simply enable forwarding from the LAN to the Guest network in the default configuration. We verified this locally using BE9300 with firmware 4.8.2 beta and drop-in gateway enabled, and it works as expected. Please note that if you need to access devices on the BE9300 Guest network from the AX1800 LAN, it also needs to do: Configure a static route from the AX1800 to the BE9300 Gu… ---
