Limit Wireless access to Internet only - Hub Two

Hi there. 

I wish to use the Hub Two wireless network to limit access to the Internet only and not see any attached devices attached (wired) to the router/hub directly. Is this possible with the Hub Two?

I have a separate WiFi Mesh for the use of myself and my family but want to use the Plusnet Hub Two WiFi as a guest network, limiting access for guests toiling the Internet only and so not see any of my internal devices.

Many thanks, community

Phill

@Phill_G From what I know of BT/PN Hubs, none have a 'guest network' facility. If you want one, you will have to purchase a suitable third-party router.

@Phill_G if you don't mind the 'double NAT' scenario, then you could probably set your mesh system in router mode. Make sure its LAN subnet is different to the Hub2 default of 192.168.1.x and set the WAN to dynamic IP. Any device connected directly to the Hub2 would now be unable to see anything connected to the mesh system.
