.TV,b channel??
My RAX50/AX5400 recently had a firmware update which completed while I wasn't present. It caused my 5G network to not be visible on wifi devices. I also now have a network showing up with 'TV.b,' at the end of the network name. I did a reset to default settings and fixed the 5G issue, but that TV.b, network is still showing available in the detected wifi networks on my phone and I have no idea where it came from. It will connect with "internet not available".
It looks like this - Netgear RAX50 TV.b,
Internet not available
As stated, my 2.4 and 5 networks are available and work fine.
My router knowledge is pretty limited, but I have managed to get by with the basics. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the reply. Turns out, it was my two Chromecast devices showing up as guest networks. A factory reset on the Chromecasts and reconnect fixed the issue. That firmware update really messed with things. I have taken your advice and turned off auto-updates. Thanks again.

Start off by going to the top of the page and download the user's manual for your RAX50.
Go to the sections starting on page 76 where configuration of the router for an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is described. The router can be configured for either a wired port or wireless port to function with an IPTV device. Based on your SSID it appears a wireless port has been configured. If you do not have an IPTV device to connect to your router Wi-FI, you should considering disabling this configuration.
When you are done, strongly consider disabling the firmware auto-update feature.
