I followed the instructions at the link provided exactly (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/ORBI-RBK50-RBS50-Tips-Tricks-Hidden-Secrets-etc/m-p/1835472#M78008) without success. When I connected with my phpne to what was supposed to be the 2.4 guest ssid, it did connect to the guest network but at 5G, not 2.4. Is it possible that on my router (RBR40) wlg0 is the wrong interface to change?

I don't have RBR40, but you can quickly verify the interface via telnet cmd.

root@RBR50:/# config show | grep ssid=*
wla1_ssid=NEST
wlg1_ssid=NEST24GHz
You can swap them you see 2 Guest Network SSIDs.
Good luck!
