    What firmware are your Orbi's on? As far as I know version 2.0.x.x supports the guest network just fine. The complaints being that you cannot turn it off and on without disrupting the main network as the router seems to reboot when you do that.

    Hi AAZ,
    I installed the latest firmware upgrade manually and everything works just fine now. I don't actually need to switch on and off the guest network, therefore the forced disruptive system reload issue doesn't affect me.
    Thank you for your support.
