Luisfernan why should I try guest connection I have no need for guest radio turned on to pollute my already congested environment with more interference. turning on guest connection is not an acceptable solution for my scenario.
JMU1998 Mr. Environment do whatever you want I just told a solution in the mean time either return your phone or your router and no more pollution
Luisfernan returning phone is an option returning Orbi is not I got it when it came out. Not being able to reduce power on radios or turn off radios not being used is something Netgear removed which baffles me. I try not to be selfish and blast my router radio in all directions if I am not using them or have no need just contribute to the pollution/interference in your surroundings/neighbourhood/network environment.
The guest network does not use a different radio channel than your current network, it just broadcasts an additional SSID. So, you wont be contributing to any extra polution that you arent already causing. Until netgear fixes the firmware, nobody here can really help much more as we are just all users just trying to help each other out, and not representatives of netgear

I even got full signal 100' into my backyard and speedtest'd with full DL and full UL speeds.
Here are my advanced settings:
