rax45 delete (close) a guest network
I have an RAX45 nighthawk and windows10. I have somehow created 2 guest networks, one on 2GH band (admin) and a similar one on 5GH (admin5g). I want to get rid of them, but deleting the names, etc. does not work. How do I delete/close a guest network?? Thanks Bill Roberts (billrobpv).
I've seen it before where a bug leaves the guest network enabled. Not sure if thats the case in yours.
You can always try a factory reset. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on. Then reinstall it.
See if that fixes the issue.

I forgot to add that guest betworks are NOT enabled, and I have unchecked all the option boxes that I could. billrobpv

Success!!
I think my problem was a: not complelely inserting the paper clip into the reset hole or b: not holding it in long enough. In any event, a complete reset/reboot deleted the Guest networks. Thank you for the help. Bill Roberts
glad it worked!
