Hello everyone,

Question....If I put my Wifi AP on 192.168.2.188, would my guests have access to my POS servers if the server/pos are on 192.168.1.10? Sorry if i could have written this in another way, I'm not very familiar with networking except on the super basics.

thanks for your time and help!

Depends entirely on how you have those segments routed.

What equipment do you have?
 
PFsense router(192.168.1.1) > switch > switch goes to POS/Servers and an Asus rt 66u setup as a wireless AP only (192.168.2.188)
 
You would want to setup two firewall rules that block traffic from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.2.x and vice versa.
 
You'd need a separate firewall interface whether it be another physical port or a VLAN out to the switch (with a managed switch). From what you described the AP is still on the 192.168.1.0/24 network.

Some APs can block traffic to other RFC1918 space but I'd consult the manual or test yourself from being on the guest network.
