TP-Link Archer AXE75 router guest network cannot reach devices, cast or print

TP-Link Archer AXE75 router guest network cannot reach devices, cast or print: guest isolation is usually intentional; internet and local discovery are separate permissions. Scoped to Archer AXE75.

A guest network on a TP-Link Archer AXE75 lets visitors use the internet without access to your own devices, and it is set up in the router's web page or the Tether app. Log in at tplinkwifi.net, open Basic, Guest Network, and enable it for the bands you want: the AXE75 is a tri-band router, so you can enable the guest network on 2.4 gigahertz, 5 gigahertz and 6 gigahertz, though most visitors need only the first two.

The checks in more detail

Give it a name that is different from your main network and a strong password, and choose WPA2 or WPA3 security. Leave the option that lets guests see each other off and the one that lets them see your local network off. If the guest network does not work, check that it is enabled on the band the device supports; an older device only sees the 2.4 gigahertz network.

If guests connect but have no internet, check that the main network has internet, and that no time limit or bandwidth control stops them. If a guest can reach your local devices, the isolation setting is off, so enable it. A guest network can also be limited in speed and by schedule, which you can set in the same menu. If the guest network keeps disappearing, update the router's firmware, since TP-Link has fixed guest network faults in updates.

A router in access point mode or with a mesh set up with TP-Link OneMesh may have guest network settings in a different place, and some extenders do not pass the guest network. Change the password periodically, and turn the guest network off when it is not needed. Test it with your own phone by connecting to the guest network and checking that you cannot open your own devices, such as a printer's web page. Contact TP-Link with the model and the hardware version if a correct setup does not work.
