Guest vs. Primary Wireless

Hello, 

I have the above mentioned router set up with wired and wireless connections. New router current firmware. I have an microsoft surface on windows 10 that connects and works fine using the 5g guest connect. When I simply change the wireless network connection on the surface to the primary 5g wirless connection, I lose connection to the device from other computer on the same network.  Guest network 5g - pings and works fine.  Pirmary wireless 5g network no - ping no work. No other changes are made to any device or software.  What could be causing this?  Thanks in advance.

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
