Two 2.4ghz signals
I am having issues with connectivity to my 2.4ghz signal. I have changed to unused channels, but am still having the issues. I have used a wifi sniffing app to determine that the router is broad...

Just to follow up, i stil cannot find why there are two signals. I ended up purchasing an AP (NON-NETGEAR!) and ran a new cat6 from my router to it; i'm only using the AP to connect to my chromecast and TV.
What i've learned is NEVER buy a netgear anything; zero tech support, and shotty hardware. I guess this is what i get for trying to save a few $$'s on a router. With the added cost of the AP i should have just purchased a good wifi router to start with. Lesson learned.

Guest network? Did you set up the guest network?

I disabled the guest and 5ghz radios just to be sure.

You meant two identical SSID? Then are you using same SSID between router and AP?
