Guest network in AP Mode?

I started experiencing some glitches so I decided to use a another router and try Orbi setup in AP mode. I got it up and running but the guest network is visible but not functional. I made sure everything was off regarding the guest network but it is still being broadcast for some reason. Running firmware 2.2.1.210, one router with three satellites. Thanks

    Is the Broadcast check box un-checked? 

    Reboot the Orbi router after making changes...

      Strange thing happened, after about 30 min the guest network simply disappeared. Another instance of Orbi being Orbi LOL. So I guess all is good for now. Thanks for your reply.

        Seen others mention during the reboot process, GN is seen then disappears. 

        You should be ok.
