Well that opened Pandora's box!
I tried rebooting router and satellite and the process would never complete using the phone app. I eventually reset both router and satellite. Tried that a few times. Finally added the second satellite even though I didn't need it for coverage. Finally got everything back up and running. I never unplugged and plugged in my router so many times.
Fixed the guest network issue but now have to rebuild the entire network.
Can someone tell me, do I have to have both satellites up and running to setup the system? Seems crazy to me.
The router is connected to a netgear switch. I disconnected that during setup as well.
