I recently added an AP7 to my Firewalla Gold (generally a great experience so far), but I'm running into a problem setting up a guest network.  I went through SSID setup and VLAN creation, and I can connect to the guest network.

However, I've got quarantined devices set up, and despite de-selecting the Guest network from those that are set to quarantine, new devices joining the guest network are also being quarantined.  Is there something else that needs to be done to allow the guest-network devices to not quarantine?

  Hi, 
  How do I use New Device Quarantine with the Firewalla Wi-Fi? might help you understand better about how AP7 and New Device Quarantine works together. 
  
  For your particular desired setup, you can create a "Guest" Device Group or User, then add it to your SSID. Hence, devices connected to your SSID will be assigned to "Guest" Device Group/User, instead of the Quarantine group.

  Thanks - that helped.  I'd set up the guests group and set the SSID to use the guest network, but missed the group assignment in the SSID.  Seems to be working now.
