I realize a fix is in the works, but I just wanted to chime in.
I did try connecting to both of the guest SSIDs, and I noticed that they do not have a internet connection, so they appear to be more of an annoyance than a security issue. I also tried manually configuring my network settings to see if I could get internet access on either SSID, and no dice.

It would seem that posting the problem on here and then the moderator (or others) responding to the issue on here would be much more beneficial than sending a PM to a moderator. If the response is always contact a moderator, what is the point of having a community forum? That completely negates the whole point of a forum. Is this some triple top secret problem / solution that shouldn’t be public?

Some forum problems can't be resolved here in the forums, like this one, so users need to either contact NG support or a forum moderator.
Good Luck.
