"bridge" is not one of the terms ordinarily used to describe the Orbi. Mostly, people speak of "router mode" or "access point" mode.
Both modes support Guest WiFi networks.
What method do you use to enable/disable Guest WiFi (Orbi web interface or Orbi "app")?
What firmware is on the Orbi at this time?

Bang on there. Bridge is a horribly confusing label.
To help to narrow down what we are talking about here, these are just two uses of the bridge label:
- using a modem/router as a modem only device, bypassing the router bit.
- "wifi bridge", using two routers to talk to each other using wireless to bridge the gap between them.
