Orbi 871 (RBE871) Guest Wi-Fi no SSID seen or connectivity from any external device

Just wondering if the separate IoT network is seen if you enable it then disable it? 

Enabling Guest network from the web UI in a browser doesn't show as being seen on any wireless device? Disabling then re-enabled it again in that sequence? 

I see you have latest FW on the system. Is this a new system or existing system?

I have an Orbi 871 Mesh System with two satellites in my home.  I turned on my Guest Wifi, assigned a unique Guest SSID to make it easy to locate for my guests, and set the password from the phone app (at first) then the web side of things (via http://orbilogin.com).  Both avenues  seemed a relatively intuitive process, but in the end the guest SSID was not able to be seen by any external device.

 

I even attempted to use QR Code generated in the Guest Wifi part of the app to see if the phones could link up with no success.  I also tried to manually enter the Guest SSID and password just in case it was hidden (for some reason) and received "Connection Unsuccessful - make sure [Guest Wi-Fi] is turned on and in range" messages from the phones.  I had similar unsuccessful attempts  for the guest laptops when trying to manually connect.

 

Since the satellite was only a few feet away and functioning, I dismissed range as not being the issue.

 

I attempted rebooting the Orbi 871 router after making the changes, I rebooted the phones,  tried other phones, I switched Access Control ON and checking the box to allow all new devices to connect, rebooted the router again (and again) to no avail.
