Need Wireless with total Client isolation

Ubiquiti kinda sucks. They have no support. Can't seem to get anyone to answer the simple question of if they have client isolation or not. Linksys now has a SMB Access Point LAPAC1200C which says it does true client isolation. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of them? Any recommendations on any others?

If you're doing a guest network, then the answer is yes with Ubiquiti. Non-guest networks, the answer is no.

As far as the LAPAC1200C, I'm seeing a comment on the Linksys site where a customer says that the isolation feature doesn't work. But I cannot speak from personal experience.
Unsecure!
Do not buy this product if you want to keep public users off your LAN. The product claims to have client isolation to keep WiFi users from seeing other network resources, but even with this turned on, wireless users have full access to your LAN. The cloud management feature also does not include all the features that are visible in the local management of the device. Also just try calling into support, they will not even answer the phone or have anyone monitoring the online chat. I am returning the product.

Not sure what "If you're doing a guest network, then the answer is yes with Ubiquiti. Non-guest networks, the answer is no." really means. Ubiquiti's "Guest Network" does no do client isolation.  It does "kind of" isolation. You can still see other devices on the main network and see other wireless clients.

As far as the Linksys I am looking for comments from someone who has experience with them. At the vary least the comment above about not answering their phones is incorrect. I had a warm voice in Tech Support answer the phone in three minutes. I can't help but wonder if maybe he didn't turn client isolation on.....
I guess you are looking for wireless client should not ping other wireless client on same ssid or vlan?

Aruba has client isolation feature.

cheers
Correct. No pinging, no discovery, nothing. True isolation. Aruba is not approachable. Total waste of a company.
Do you have the guest and corporate networks on separate VLANs? If the answer is yes, then you can actually just prevent one VLAN from accessing the other. Even though that isn't a control in UniFi, it is something that you can still establish.
Yes but that is only a partial solution. Wireless clients shouldn't be able to see other wireless clients or anything else on the same vlan.
or you can try with CISCO they also have client isolation support. First you need to choose the product, further I can help you with settings to achieve it. Thanks
