Nighthawk X6 R8000 Guest Network Setup

[Lucky-Me]

Does anyone know what the "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" check box cannot be un-checked as it is greyed off. 

I need to un-checked it so that guest users can only gain access to internet connection and not see the internal network. It's supposed to be a feature but cannot be used.

take it out of AP mode if using it

I can't think of any reason it being grayed out. The only solution I can provide is to do a factory reset and enter settings manually. Something seems to disable it but I do not have enough information to say what

Already done a reset, still greyed off. Everything else works fine. Just don't know why this feature is somehow disabled and greyed off.

Hi Lucky-Me,

Searay is correct. The device is on AP mode that is why you do not have an option to uncheck it. When device is configured as an AP mode, the Guest networks same as the main network since it is no longer the DHCP server.
