Multiple SSID's

[MorTality_X]

I have the GT-AX11000 Pro set up in AIMESH mode with a RT-AX82U as the satellite node.  I have "Smart Connect" setup where 2.4 and 5g use the same ssid and it broadcast properly with 2 SSID's (one main and one guest).  I presume it is a guest network.  I would like to add 2 more guest networks but every time I do, it will not let devices connect to either the network or the internet.  Is this a software thing, or a hardware thing?  Is there a way around this?

Thankyou

It should allow Internet Access.  That may be a bug with the firmware if not.  Guest Network Pro seems to enforce VLANs on those networks, which would not allow access to LAN outside of the VLAN.  It should allow allow access within the VLAN if AP Isolated is unchecked.

I have noticed that the first guest network is available on both the primary router node and the satellite nodes. However, adding a second or third guest network has its SSID broadcast from the primary router node, they are not repeated to the satellite nodes.

I wanted to setup a dedicated SSID for IoT devices on a second guest network, but since it cannot be repeated to each satellite node, it will not work.  I instead have to add the IoT devices to my first guest network.  But when I do that, they sometimes loose their DHCP address, as only the primary router node can issue the DHCP address to the clients, so if they are far away from the router, they may not be granted a DHCP address even though they have a strong WiFi signal from the satellite node for the guest network.  I confirmed this issue by trying to connect my smartphone to my guest network, and it does not get a DHCP address issued by the router.

Has anyone else seen this issue with AiMesh?  I am using ZenWiFi XT8 router and nodes.
