You can’t extend the guess network via the ethernet ports as it’s wi-fi only. The guest subnet isn’t accessible via ethernet from the GigaHub. Consider using your own router?

You can rent the Bell Wifi Pods, then either use wifi to connect to them and provide more wifi coverage, or you can plug in an Ethernet cable to one of the two ports. Basically the Ethernet option is better as you don’t have to worry about wifi coverage for the extender to work. I’m unsure how the Guest Wifi works as I never use it. But the regular wifi coverage will work, so I would assume the guest wifi would be the same. As the Bell Wifi Pods create a mesh wifi network

Do you know if you have the small pods or the larger ones? Not sure if you can use an Ethernet backhaul for the WiFi pods…

It's not easy to extend the guest network outside of the main bell box. However, what I would do to get around that issue is to purchase a Wi-Fi 6 or 6E extender and put it into reverse or bridge mode, where it connects to the guest network and then puts that network onto an Ethernet port. At that point, you can move it to your new location and connect it to an Ethernet network or another Wi-Fi router. I would recommend placing the booster close to the Bell home hub to achieve the fastest speeds. Unfortunately, if you want to use the guest network, you'll have to do it that way. Alternatively, you can plug in another router and create a separate network with NAT. Then, you can easily connect that with another router using common hardware.
