Hi All

I seemed to have addressed the issue for the present. I turned off my guest WIFI and rebooted everything. However, the RBS50Y was still broadcasting the guest wifi. I used telnet nvram command to reset the RBS50Y to factory then re-synced the RBS50Y and now appears OK.

Thanks for all you suggestions.

Hi, I have this exact problem. I have reset using the reset button with no success. I have some basic comp skills but am unfamiliar with the telnet nvram method you used. I am on a Mac using MacOS 10.15.7.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
