can this be connected as a Guest network without access to the rest of the network?
2063925
No. There is no isolation or routing provided by this device. Since this is fundamentally just an access point, you can think of it as the cable you would use to connect your device directly to your modem/router/switch. If you have a router in your environment -- something to create the "guest" network, all you need to do is create that network on one physical port on the router then attach this device to that port. That will provide wireless access for the network created in the router, but all of the "smarts" is being handled by the routing device, not this one.

No, this is a switch not a router. The ports can be managed over the network but the switch itsself can not issue IP addresses.

Yes..you can give each port its own static ip or use them together (teamed).

Yes, with a bit of work it can be done for free. I control my AC with OpenRemote running on my Synology NAS and port forwarding set on my router. There are other packages that are likely easier to set up, but you will need a router and cable modem compatible with port forwarding or VPN.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?

Yes, but the extender will need to be configured to each network as you go from one location to another. If the motel has a 'splash' page login, it will not work.

yes, it is easy to map as a network drive.I have mapped it to both Windows 7 and 8, as well as Linux

They say you can. There are tutorials on it. I haven't done it yet as it requires pointing your ip to a service like no ip or another name service for ips. If you do a search in forums, it's the same as setting up a security camera access point or Remote Desktop service.

I imagine you could. I don't recall seeing any specifications stating otherwise. Bear in mind, however, that the product works through a router which needs to be on in order for files to be accessible.
2189760
Yes. Look up one-to-one NAT. You can translate ports both incoming and outgoing.
1221897
No you can run the PCs directly to the ethernet switch and plug the access point into an open port configure it and you're all set.

It should be simple. The utility helps you set it up for users that don't know how to navigate the router directly. I would not recommend to enable the guest account /login. That part can be confusing and difficult for guest users.
1293356
Yes, you definitely can. This is one of the modes which is called "bridge". You creating another private WiFi network when the HooToo is configured, via very nice GUI, to hook up to your major WiFi network. This is basically the same functionality which is provided by so called "Range Extender" devices.

If you mean Truly separate clients, then no, I doubt it since there is only one access list. You can however make a mock-up of that type of setup by making to separate logins between the 2, and limiting the access on the client side. I'm not sure why you'd want to though, since they will connect to the same network on the router. If I am understanding your question correctly. What the others are describing is a network, and an access point type of setup. NOT 2 distinctly separate networks. Just 2 different connection types that give you some combination of internet, and network access that you can custom filter to some extent.

Probably, this unit is highly flexible in its choices, you may even be able to do this several ways, though you may need to go into the units settings to set it up manually. Some of the hidden networks may be set up in the operating system software and may be platform sensitive. I tried to give detailed information on my review on how to set up this unit for use in Linux and this may review may have some helpful information for your need. I also found the tech support of the TP Link company to be good and you may wish to query them through their official site. I think that they may have the manual in pdf form to look at there also.

Yes, very limited though and in general this machine has had significant issues communicating with my computers on the network. If I could get rid of it, I would. They also offer no support. I would NOT buy this again.

Gavin, I don't think so. I don't remember seeing a guest option and when I search on the word "guest" in the manual, it is not found. You can find a link to the manual here - http://www.asus.com/Networking/EAN66/HelpDesk_Manual/.
