Setup Guest network through app

I thought the previous version allowed me to enable/disable the guest network. Was this function deleted?

It seems to be available in the 2.2.0.363 version that I have.

    Sorry. It didn't occur to me that your app was for IOS and mine is for Android.
    It's terrible that Netgear would drop functionality from their app.

    I noticed that the Android app doesn't show which device, Orbi router or Orbi satellite, devices are attached to. The web interface does have this info though. So I guess the web interface is the fallback method.

      I figured out that the reason is because the Orbi is in AP mode.  If I put back in router mode the option appears again in the app.  Bummer for me since I need to run in AP mode.
