The problem is, I can't find it. I am using the AirPort App on my ipad and I can't find any Guest configuration. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Apple assumes that you will be connecting the AirPort Express to a simple modem....not a modem/router or gateway type of device, or network server.
The Guest Network feature can only be enabled when the AirPort is set as the router controlling DHCP and NAT for the network.
If the AirPort is in Bridge Mode, the option to enable the Guest Network will not even appear in AirPort Utility.
On your iPad.....
Tap to open AirPort Utility
Tap the AirPort Express, then tap Edit
Is there a setting for Guest Network here?
If yes, tap to continue the set up
If no, tap the Advanced tab at the bottom
Tap DHCP and NAT
Tap Router Mode
If the setting for DHCP and NAT is set to Off (Bridge Mode), the Guest Network feature cannot be enabled in this setting.....which is the correct setting for the AirPort on your network. It's a Catch 22.
You might be able to configure the AirPort to operate in DHCP and NAT mode on the network, but there will be challenges to overcome....namely DHCP conflicts and Double NAT issues.
