Delete any devices that have been added on the Geo-Filter page and it won't affect it. I would also suggest disabling QoS completely in Anti-Bufferbloats options and see if that resolves your issue

Then try connecting your TV to that Guest Network. Does that then solve the problem?
This workaround has fixed WiFi issues for other people with smart devices, so might work here.
