Guest network does not extend thru satellites
It seems the guest network does not extend thru the satellites. From the satellites you don't even get the guest signal.
Before you start telling people that they are doing something wrong perhaps you should know what you are talking about.
I'm on firmware V1.4.0.18
I have 2 satellites(rbs50) approx 25 feet from the main router(rbk50).
When I check the wifi signal, at the router I see full bars of both main SSID and Guest SSID
When I walk 20 feet beyond the satellite away from router, I get 0 bar guest and FULL bars main ssid.
(me)---(rbs50)---(rbk50)---(rbs50)
This tells me that the Guest network is not working thru the satellite.
Also when you log into the satellite, you will only see information about main SSID and not the guest network.
Perhaps you dont know what you are talking about.
nah , only been on orbi for 6 months
again get a propper wifi analyzer and see if you have 6 normal transmissions and 6 guest transmissions showing , if you dont the sats not working , if you do something else is wrong
the gest wifi transmission power and channels should match the main transmission power and channels for the main orbi
