You don't have to share this info of course,

but you could create a firewall rule.... I know, I am suggesting things 
you don't want.

Since your guest wifi ssid is on a different subnet you could disallow 
input from that subnet to the local dns server.

Routing does not work using the input chain. Your router could be hidden 
from the guest network /while routing it/, ie. they could not portscan 
it or get any kind of contact with it other than routing.

At least this works if the wifi access point is the primary router for 
the guest subnet and forwards the traffic to the real router.

The guests then are able to access the access point itself, but the 
router further ahead, including the entire subnet it is part of, is 
going to be invisible.

Anyway, that is probably not what you want.

Good luck battling that thing.
