Is it me or is Netgear Orbi RBK753S-100NAS' wifi guest network unstable compared to non-guest wifi?

I have been noticing that since day 1 on 12/8/2020, so it didn't matter which firmwares. Even when I am in the adjacent room (between a wall) next to the router with iPhones (6 + and 12 mini).

 

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂

I have had the guest network turned off ever since the 4.x updates.

When I have a chance I'll test guest again. My goal is to use guest for some of the less secure IoT devices that don't need access to network resources. On Nighthawk these devices were on a separate vlan with internet-only access. Hoping to use guest to get them isolated again because orbi provides no vlan capability.

Any updates yet? As for me, I updated, resetted, and reconfigured my firmwares. Same results. 😞
