    I updated to V2.7.2.104 from V2.7.2.102.  Did factory reset and setup twice.  Both times I noticed that my router and satellites were transmitting NETGEAR-guest ssid unsecured.  I have reverted back to V2.7.2.102 and my issue went away.  I did manual updates from web gui. Has anyone else seen or noticed this?  Please let me know, thanks.  Netgear please look into this matter.
