Any progress on this?

I use another device for DHCP and DNS. I bought this model a few months ago at Costco and was surprised when I had a family member tell me that Guests cannot connect to the Guest Network. I tested myself with both different notebooks and Android phones and sure enough see the same results "No internet". To be honest I can't image I am the ONLY ONE seeing this problem? Either that or I am the only one that took the time to reach out to Netgear Support and open a case. The only "work around" I have found which totally defeats the purpose of having a Guest Network is to check the box in the Guest Network settings: Allow guests to see each other and access my local network, then they have network connectivity. Yes I am already on the latest firmware: V1.0.1.60. I have submitted all my logs to Netgear Support and hoping this is fixed, perhaps with another firmware update?
