Is this possible?You could try connecting it to the LAN port of a client bridge (or sometimes known as a media bridge) that is connected to the Orbi base station via guest wifi. This seems to be able to achieve what you wanted.View solution in original postMessage 3 of 4 Me too1Kudo Reply All Replies FURRYe38GuruMark as NewBookmarkSubscribeSubscribe to RSS FeedPermalinkPrintReport Inappropriate Content ‎2018-06-1907:37 PM ‎2018-06-1907:37 PM Re: Can I assign a Wired LAN port to the "guest" networkNo. Guest Network is for wireless clients only.Message 2 of 40Kudos Reply taohatStarMark as NewBookmarkSubscribeSubscribe to RSS FeedPermalinkPrintReport Inappropriate Content ‎2018-06-2007:20 AM ‎2018-06-2007:20 AMRe: Can I assign a Wired LAN port to the "guest" network@kprothwrote:I have a MagicJack VOIP device plugged into a Wired LAN port on my Orbi RBR40 base station.

But if the Orbi can't isolate wired ports at all, this does indeed seem like the next best thing. Thanks for the suggestion.Message 4 of 40Kudos Reply All forum topics Previous TopicNext Topic Top Contributors UserCount FURRYe3810CrimpOn5parker71202plemans2DingoNZ21 See AllDiscussion stats3replies ‎2018-06-1906:47 PM5327views1kudo3in conversation Announcements • Introducing NETGEAR WiFi 7 Orbi 770 Series and Nighthawk RS300• What is WiFi 7?• Orbi WiFi 7 (Black Edition)• Orbi WiFi 7 Key Features• What is Quad Band?• What is the difference between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7?• Yes!
