Orbi guest network very disruptive (enhancement request)

RBR50 and RBS50 firmware 2.0.0.74

Turning the guest network on or off not only takes a long time but drops the entire network for some time. This is extremely disruptive. Before enabling the guest network, I have to warn everyone that their streaming video, music, downloads, gaming, and everything else is going to be interrupted.

 

If there's any way to fix it so that changing the guest network setting is more gently, it would be appreciated.

Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

I have noticed the same, when enabling the guest network the wifi on Sat and router are restarted.

I think the only current solution is to just leave the Guest network running constantly.  I my case I have now given up on the guest network
