Hi, I thought I'd come on here to give you an update.
Everything is now working as it should, including the Guest Network.
The only problem I was having, was logging back in to RBR after full reset, I kept getting the password reset loop, but once I sorted the issue, I setup the WIFI networks again, put the RBR in AP mode, restarted my ISP router 1st, once fully booted up, I plugged the Ethernet cable into RBR 10G internet port, tested the guest network, and it is now working fine.
Thank you both for your help. it has been a steep learning curve, going from a TP link router to the Orbi 970. Everything is sorted, including the satellite.
Thank you again
Currently in router mode, with DHCP disabled, as my ISP router assigning IP address.
I fear that cannot work. The modern Orbi series expects devices on the Guest WiFi network to have IP addresses in a different IP subnet than the primary and IoT networks. The DHCP request made by devices connected to the Guest WiFi will not be transmitted through the WAN interface.
A quick check would be to look at the Attached devices display and see what IP address is assigned to devices connected to the Guest WiFi network.
