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.

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

I'm using wifi analyzer on google play, it pretty much confirms my conclusions that the guest network is not extending thru the satellite. BTW, you're experience is equal to mine with Orbi Guest networks, since it was just recently release so please stop telling people they are doing something wrong when you dont know what you're talking about.

Actually it does propagagte though the satellites. Here is my network analysis. I have two sats and you can see the main router and two sats A_Guest_1 on each device in both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz ranges.
