Model: MR1100-100

When I go into m1login.net, I can see that the settings look normal. Wifi is on dual and nothing seems out of place or 'unclicked'.

I reseted it as well through the browser to factory settings and nothing changed afterwards.

try to head to
settings - setup - wireless
then check if hiding SSID is marked remove the mark and it will work.

Also check
settings - setup - Mobile Router Setup
and make sure the IP Passthrough is off and the turn off wifi when tethering is not marked.
Hope this will solve your problem

    Thanks for all the help guys!

      Could you please try using different simple SSID names for Main and secondary WiFi?

    Hi all. "Settings - setup - Mobile Router Setup ... turn off wifi tethering is not marked" turned out to be my problem even though it's not the solution to the Original Poster's problem. I have no idea how that setting was ever changed. The only thing I remember doing was replacing the router's battery (after which the router stopped being detectable by nearby devices such as my phone). Thanks Ksa3344 who  suggested this. It saved me a lot of grief.
