Where is Guest network setup on an MR1100

The interface on my Nighthawk MR1100 does not have a guest setup option in the Settings dropdown like I see on youtube.  Is there a frimware update that adds this or is there some other trick?

    Hi electricpurple

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    May we please know the device SKU (e.g. MR1100-100NAS)? This can be checked on the box of the product or on the barcode label

     

    Guest WiFi feature is only enabled on AT&T SKU.

      Yes, mine is the MR1100-100NAS.  if it is only the ATT version with a guest network then I will be returning mine to Amazon and going with a more robust Pepwave product.  Thanks for yor assistance!!

        The manual says nothing about AT&T only.
