RBK50 will not save second ssid

I bought a refurbished RBK50 kit from Microcenter.  It seems to work okay except for one thing.  It won't allow me to save the second ssid.  I go to the debug page, turn telnet on, telnet to the rout...

I asked the question too soon.  After reading through the big discussion, the answer was buried in the thread, but there are multiple solutions to this problem.

 

1. Revert to earlier firmware

2. Execute the following commands before changing the ssids:

 

config set wifison-monitor_stop=1

config commit

 

3. Change a config file.

 

Thank you to the people who have worked to find solutions for this common need (multiple SSIDs).  I can understand why a single SSID is a good solution for many, but the few isn't as small as Netgear thinks it is, so why not give people a choice?
