Huge bug in this firmware. Your guest network is no longer respecting WAN BLOCK on devices. So main wifi network will block as usual if you set it so but guest network WAN block is no longer working. Only solution is go back to former firmware. Tried this with numerous devices, android tv, android mobile phone, ios etc.. the wan block no longer working.

Bummer for such an expensive router.

hopefully fixed asap.

Well done some more testing and the GUEST network has full access to the internet , blocked or not. Send pictures with logs already to asus. For main wifi the wan block is working as intented. For guest networks it's not.

Anyone else has the issue ?

update today :

Even after FULL FACTORY RESET
Even after RESTORE OLDER FIRMWARE
Even after deleting wifi guest networks and re-installing them.

All to no avail, wifi guest networks are disregarding WAN BLOCK.

cheers

Well I did more testing, deleted all guest networks, made a new IoT (internet of things) network , same result. The wan block is not working. You can set it to on for the device, shows red icon , but traffic is visible and just goes trough. Started youtube on a blocked smartphone and on a blocked TV and no problem whatsoever to get internet access.

This firmware is serious bagger, especially for a router of this price.

I will end up sending them back. Buy something else.
