   The router (A DI-524) has only one subnet (192.168.1.nnn) for which it   
   is the DHCP server. Both Pi5 and Pi4 use DHCP, with the DHCP range   
   from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.20 .

   There's nothing called guest mode in the config pages, but there are   
   "filters", described as "allow or deny LAN users from accessing the   
   Internet". Nothing is listed as enabled, so I don't think that's the   
   problem.   
      
   There are three firewall rules active, allow ping to WAN port, allow   
   LAN to LAN for all protocols and deny WAN to LAN for all protocols.

   Yes, there is only one router/AP.

   The DHCP range is limited to 192.168.1.nnn, with no distinction between   
   wired and wireless connections. There's clearly bridging from wirless to   
   wired devices such as the printer, which works and can be pinged.   
      
   Maybe there's a firewall between wireless clients. I've certainly not needed   
   such connections much. I'll poke around on the Web to see if there are any   
   references to Guest Mode online. The internal help pages are close to useless,   
   and the configuration menus are worse.   
      
   Thanks for writing, and your patient good counsel!
