I am worried that there is not really a benefit of doing that, just more noise and energy consumption.

    My solution is the correct way and easier way. You don’t need MAC address white-list. You just have a guest SSID with DHCP on, they get the IP from the subnet in that zone. No crazy subnet hacks etc.

    Can I join your guest network, sure. Let me just grab your mac address, login to the DHCP server, create a reservation with a limited subnet mask that can still see the default gateway.

    Or can I connect to you guest network, sure here is the code or scan that QR code. That’s it, they’re in the guest VLAN and subnet, zoned off on the firewall and have QOS applied to not saturate the network.
