V2.3.1.60I think this is one of the issues introduced in 2.3.1.60. I think that something is wrong in the Satellite software. Please try the following:
- Power off the Satellite. Keep the Ethernet backhaul connected.
- Go to "Attached Devices" in the web GUI, and click on "Remove" or "Forget" device for the Satellite that you powered off.
- Now power on the Satellite and then use a paper clip to factory reset it.
- When the Satellite comes up press the Sync button on the Router and then on the Satellite to connect the Satellite to the Router
- That's it, when the Satellite comes up things will continue working as they should!
It's a new buy, so the firmware came loaded. I went into the settings and disabled daisychain (I'm assuming if I add a second satellite I will need to have it connected via ethernet now?) but the satellite is still not broadcasting the guest network. In the settings it shows the SSID for 2.4 and 5 primary, but not guest.
Do a factory reset on the RBS and re-add it. This time add it via wireless only and see if the Guest Network is seen while it's wireless connected...
What FW version is currently loaded on the system?
