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.

Have you tried to roll back to the firmware where it was working to see if goes back to isolating the guest network? If so I can send the issue over to our engineers to look at the latest firmware.
Thanks
