Now some devises are connecting to the Guest Network

Update to 12.1.10.12 Manually. Now some devises are connecting to the Guest Network which has never been enabled. They should be connecting to the IoT network.

     Hello, I see how they are connected under Basic in the Web interface. My sump pump and one-ring devise showed connected to the guest network. I had never enabled the guest network. Per some advice, I enabled the guest network and hit apply. Waited for 5 minutes, then went back in and turned it off. So far, everything is connecting correctly. Nothing to the guest network.

How are you telling that devices are connecting to the GN? 

You confirmed it is not enabled on the RBRs web page? 

And the RBS were updated before the RBR? 

Did you power OFF the RBR and all RBS for 1 minute then back ON.
