Nighthawk X6S R8000P Guest Network won’t enable with password protection

I am setting up a Nighthawk R8000P and have my main networks broadcasting and when O go to enable my guest network, if I password enable it, the router sends an error below. If I just open a guest network without a password, it works great. Any kind of password encryption, the below error: “Configuration Error”

Any ideas???
Installation
Security

    Recommend you close the mobile application.  With a real computer connected to the router via Ethernet cable, use a web browser to log in to the user interface for configuration.
