AirPlay/mirroring on guest network

Scenario: 4 SSID

  1. 2.4GHz
  2. 5.0GHz
  3. 2.4GHz Guest
  4. 5.0GHz Guest


Apple TV configured to connect to option #2: 5.0GHz


Users on guest network (2.4GHz Guest or 5.0 GHz Guest) are not able to use AirPlay/mirroring. Is there a solution so i don't have to switch the SSID on the Apple TV back and forth?


router can be either Airport Extreme or Netgear R6300 ac.


Thanks

Every consumer grade wireless router that I've used that offers the ability to serve up a guest network has also had the option to prevent guest machines from connecting to trusted machines. Admittidly, I have not used either of your specific routers. Personally, the wireless routers in my home are pretty much dumb with a firewall, DHCP server, and transparent proxy (for content filtering) running on an inexpensive Linux machine.
