Guest network ac1750 model R6300v2

I don't really know what I am doing but I set up a guest network yesterday. I tested it today and found that when I connected to the guest netowrk, I was able to view files and folders on my PC's hard drive. This is how I have set up both the 2.4GHz and 5G profiles. What have I done wrong?

 

  • Problem solved. There actually was no problem except between my ears. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Thanks for the quick replies.

        You could try updating the firmware. Not sure if it'll help but you can always try.

        that router is pretty out of data. You might check into some 3rd party firmwards like dd-wrt or tomato for it. 

        They'll give it a few enhancements over stock. 

        Just be advised, there's always a chance of bricking a device when installing 3rd party firmware.
