Also, is there a way not to use virtual MAC addresses? I want to use the hardware's MAC addresses so I can see them in my router's connection list. I have to look in the extender's MAC address list. :(

Hello Ant
1.you may want to try a different web browser.
2.No way to skip it. It is there to recover passwords.
3.you may want to adjust the 5ghz wireless channel on your router.
only way to make the guest network work is connect it to the guest network SSID that is coming from the main router.

1. It wasn't even in a web browser. It was a pop-up window.
2. So, it is online on the Internet? Am I supposed to get an e-mail of its results?
3. Hmm, none of the 5 GHz channels help since they're all low. I think they're just too far. I was told that they don't work well with far distances and walls compared to 2.4 GHz.
Weird that I didn't get any e-mail notification of your post. Thanks though. :)
