How could that affect the guest WiFi on the Orbi?

Interesting. Not sure why you were having problems first off. No idea. You can choose to keep whats loaded as FW or update as well, as v 12 is available for manual download.

I have the same issue with RBR850. What was the fix for this issue? The solution link doesn't seem to be working.

There wasn't actually a fix, I just noticed it was working one day.
I read somewhere else that people have had issues with the satellite not broadcasting the guest network. That may be what my issue was, but I'm not sure. I haven't fully investigated yet. I don't use the guest network very often, so I haven't gotten around to looking into it.
