Can't allow Guests to access network

There are times I would like to temporarily allow a guest access to my full network. But the check box for that is disabled.

 

This is on an #RBR50 with 2 #RBS50 satellites.

 

I vaguely recall there was some override for this but now I can't find it. TIA if you can refresh my memory.

    I remembered the hack. It is to edit the file /www/WLG_wireless_guest1.htm

    and comment out the test for enable_ap_flag. This is bogus anyway, there's

    no reason to disable this.

    if(/* enable_ap_flag == 1 || */ fbwifi_enable == '1' || enable_extender_flag == '1')
    setDisabled(true, form.allow_access);

    My RBR50 shows these options:

      No, those aren't enabled. But the RBR50 is in Access Point mode and that seems to trigger the disabling of guest access.

       

      I vaguely recall there was a way around this, either editing some HTML on the router or poking some value on the Debug page.
