RAX50 Firmware Version V1.0.12.120_2.0.83 update
After the Firmware update, I had to reconfigure the router settings.
The Guest wifi is set not to allow access to files and connected systems.
My roommates have all their phones, TVs, and Tablets on the guest account.
When they log into the 5GHZ wifi, they are directed to the private 5GHZ end of the router.
My roommate's phone was logged into the Gust 5Ghz wifi, and it was attempting to send malicious Code to my Lan PC. My firewall was blocking it and notifying me about it.
Under the Routers Config menu/access control, it shows that he is logged into the 5Ghz Private Wifi. The two entries marked in red should be on the Guest 5ghz account but they are not. On his phone and TV, he is logged into the gust wifi. See attached photo.
-----------------
Also, I noticed, that in the Email setup for the log files. When you set up the info and click on Apply it goes to a blank window and never refreshes, changes are saved but it will not send the email logs as directed.
******** UPDATE: I disconnected the modem. I did a factory reset. I powered down the router. powered up. reflashed the V1.0.12.120.2.0.83 firmware.Then I did a factory reset. Powered down. powered up. Configured the router via the web interface. powered down the router. powered up the modem. Powered up the router connected to the modem. The guest's 5ghz wifi is still connecting to the private 5Ghz Wifi.
The Email log settings still shows a blank screen after clicking on apply. But I waited 5 Min. then relogged into the router. Settings were saved like before. Only this time I am getting the log emails as directed by the settings.

Which network is the Guest Network?
So Rays Phone and Ray TV, have you attempted to use the forget this network on these devices, then reboot them then have them re-connect to the Guest Network?

I Changed the password when I set up the router. so they had to be renewed. 'RaysWiFi' is the 5G Gust WiFi (not showen). He logs into 'RaysWiF' with the password and it connects him to James5G in the router, but his phone still says he is connected to RaysWiFi.
I have not tried to 'roll back' to the previous FW. I thought I would wait until they update it again.

Ok,
I tried on my RAX50v2 yesterday and not seeing same thing as you however I believe FW and such are different from the RAX50v1:
I've asked someone that has a v1 to see if he can reproduce so we can get some additional information to NG. In mean time i recommend you downgrade FW if you need your other user to be on GN. We have no idea when this will get fixed and when a new version of FW will be forthcoming. So up to you if you want to wait it out or downgrade.
