Enabling guest network doesn’t broadcast SSID
I recently enabled armor and one if the security suggestions is to enable a guest network. Additionally they also want you to run but defender on the devices in your home network - so putting my Iphone4s in the guest network makes my home network look more secure.
Anyway i enabled all 3 guest network bands via the app but could not see them broadcast. Rebooted - same problem. I went into the web GUI and the guest networks did not have “broadcast SSID “. Enabled. After clicking and saving I could then see the guest networks and join them.
Is this a bug or a feature?
