Can other GZ 2Degrees customers with either of the "official, supplied by 2Degrees" models of Fritz!box 7490 or 7530 confirm you see the same thing as me?
Namely that the Guest WiFi option outlined by avm is missing from the UI?
I don't usually use the built-in wireless on my Fritz!box (usually use an external Aerohive WAP or 3), but I am troubleshooting problematic internet, well, problems (after moving house - subject for a different post!) and wanted to eliminate everything except for the router itself and so wanted to enable the Fritz!box WLAN.
Unfortunately, I have a routine requirement for Guest WLAN, using a separate SSID with distinct PSK (not a problem with a proper WAP of course!), so I couldn't test this any longer than at an hour at a time, which isn't so useful for troubleshooting my problem. It's been so long since I used WiFi on a Fritz!box, that the last time I did so, was on the venerable 7340! 😲.
I'm 100% certain that the 7340 model (per very very early UFB trials on Enable Networks in CHC) does support a separate SSID for Guest WiFi - if I look hard enough I can probably even produce a printed sheet of A4 with the "no longer current" 2x SSIDs & PSK QR codes, for easy scanning on mobile phones!
I have tried enabling Advanced options in the Fritz!OS UI on both model 7490 and 7530 units I have here and poking around but cannot find Guest WiFi option.
I also tried enabling the Guest LAN option first (thinking the two ie LAN & WLAN functions may be related):
Still don't see the Guest Wifi option I want - has it been removed from the 2Degrees-customised f/w?
If so, why on earth? And is it possible to get that put BACK in on next release?
It's super-useful, especially these days to have a slightly "skunk" network you can use for the super-untrustworthy IoT devices that will probably never see an update and we can't tell who they're phoning home to... (and don't allow them to "see" the devices on the MAIN network)
