I have family and friends that use a lot of bandwidth that interferes with my viewing of netflix and other task, Can I disconnect or throttle the speed of my guest network on a 5th or 6th generation Airport Extreme?
Thanks
iOS 8.2
No, such controls are well outside what apple routers can manage.
Relegate the apple router to WAP and get a WNDR3800 from ebay for a few dollars or anything on the gargoyle firmware list..
I recommend the Dlink DIR-835 as good alternative.. but there are plenty of others.
I cannot give you URL (apple delete my posts if I do) so all I can say is google for it.

Thanks! I will seriously consider your advice! As much as I like the apple ecosystem, the lack of control is huge flop!
If your AirPort Extreme is set up as the network router with a public WAN side IP address, you should be able to access the settings on the AirPort Extreme from virtually anywhere.
Open AirPort Utility
Click the File Menu
Select Configure Other
Enter the WAN side IP address of the AirPort Extreme
Enter the device password
That will bring up all of the settings in AirPort Utility, which will allow you to enable or disable the guest network feature, save the changes and restart the AirPort Extreme.
Can I remotely (via app) disconnect or throttle the speed of my guest network?
