Router Firmware Version V1.0.1.100

Guest account will not accept any secured mode and any password is wrong.

wpa2, wpa3, nothing works except "security options:none"

I've had the router most of this year but only today did I need a guest-access account.

I want you to notice it's the latest firmware, and rebooting the router/recycling the power do not work.

Smart-connect is not-checked (it's off).

Is there any bromide I've missed?

    Hello 2dk2c, 

     

    For more info on setting up the guest WiFi network, please refer to page 78 of the user manual:

    The very next page says how to set up "none", "wpa2", etc (I'm quoting step 6)

    only "None" works on my router, it will refuse all passwords on a guest account.

      Hello 2dk2c, 

       

      Thanks for confirming. Have you also gotten a chance to factory reset the router and run through the setup again?
