Some info RE guest Network that might be of help to Netgear.....
I have 850 with 6 satellites on 2 different sites
Below relates to a system on this latest firmware
Yesterday while checking setting via on site web IP I noticed
When in "Basic" mode nothing unusual re wi fi guest
When in "Advanced" mode as soon as you enter "wireless" tab the guest wifi jumps ON even if the tick box is blank (off), leave the tab and guest turns OFF.
Also when "apply"ing whilst in wireless tab the Wi fi guest will switch on and off within that save process - again with guest set off.
This repeated a number of times.
I have a name in the guest SSID as previous this was in use - I did not check with guest SSID blank (deleted) or factory blank
I had an iphone next to me looking at wifi signals available
PLEASE NOTE - I was not deliberately checking this , I just noticed it doing other things and so changed tab a few times to confirm.
This may be of help,
Thank you,
Andy.

Same problem here, Guest wifi is uncontrolable, turning on without notice. I noticed the same issue with the previous fw though (4.6.8.5) !
