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.

Glad you got it working.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
