The Guest Wifi was unstable before the firmware update.
I manage to update my RBR and RBS to v.7.2.8.5.
I have synchronized all my updates, RBR and RBS, but the unstable guest Wi-Fi network remains.
My main network works perfectly.
The performance of my Guest-Wifi is 50% slower then my Normal Wifi.
Sometimes my guest Wi-Fi network even stops working.
What channels are you using on the RBR? Try 1 and 40 or 11 and 48?
What devices are connected on the guest network?
Guest Network won't be as high performing as the main WLAN. Due to the temporary nature of transient devices on Guest Networks, just enough service to get users internet services would be seen on the guest network. May not be high performing.
Recommend doing a full on factory reset and setup from scratch.
