I have mesh 4x Xiaomi AX3000, 4 floors in a family house.
I wanted to create a guest network. It is not offered at all in the PC app. In the Android app, yes. I mainly need it on the 3rd floor, but preferably everywhere.
I created it according to the instructions, even the network restart took place. But no guest network was created.
I have been searching the internet for a long time until I came across this forum
Yes, when I created it when my mobile was connected to the main router (it is on the 1st floor in the garage, from it via a giga switch separate Cat6a cables to each floor), it was created. It is important to note that when a mobile is attached to a non-master, it will not be created on the master either. But it can only be seen in the garage (even there the wifi speed is about 60 Mbps, while there and elsewhere in the house on the "normal network" I have around 950 Mbps ) I did not limit its speed anywhere, nor did I find where it can be set. It cannot be seen elsewhere. I have the optics brought to the garage, the main router must be there (and also from there the cables lead to each floor.)
But the guest network in the garage is of no use to me. Does Xiaomi know about this and do something about it? Apparently I'm not alone, see the discussion here.
Some debaters even consider this a reason to return the goods. I'm not a lawyer, but it's something to consider.
I didn't notice that Xiaomi had reacted to it in any way since the beginning of this discussion (about a year and 2 months ago). I also emailed them with a question - no response yet.
