Guest networks had a number of issues on earlier firmware releases - suggest you upgrade to the latest release.

    Thanks for the tip!

     

    Do you recommend trying the systems firmware update or manual? How do I find the latest version of the firmware for the units?

     

    Thanks again

      Latest firmware for RBR50 is 1.12.0.18. Try to upgrade to the latest firmware version by using the GUI of the router, if that does not work, you will have to do it manually. Ping me, I will let you know the steps.
