RAX200 Guest WiFi network slower than standard WiFi network
I have an RAX200 (Firmware Version: V1.0.10.140_1.0.79). I have 1Gbps service at the house. Unfortunately, I am getting completely different connections speeds between my Standard and Guest network...

Guest Network was meant for temporary or limited time use as this network was meant for transient devices that only connected for a limited period of time. I doubt that the performance was designed into the GN for same performances on the main wifi network since GN users were only needing some connections to the internet to get the data they needed with minimal performances necessary for those users. I would not presume that GN would have same performance operation that the main wifi network has.

Thank you. I always thought that for security reasons, you did not want to use the main network, but rather the guest network. I guess I will start switching my 20 or so devices on Guest network back to the main network.

The main network is most secure.
