Anyone got any ideas how I can deactivate this most resilient Wi-Fi network have ever encountered.?
Thanks
I had the same issue last weekend. The network had no access to the LAN or WAN though. The rogue guest network was coming from one of the satellites. Turning the satellite OFF and back ON solved the problem. Try that.
