Can't allow Guests to access network
There are times I would like to temporarily allow a guest access to my full network. But the check box for that is disabled.
This is on an #RBR50 with 2 #RBS50 satellites.
I vaguely recall there was some override for this but now I can't find it. TIA if you can refresh my memory.
I remembered the hack. It is to edit the file /www/WLG_wireless_guest1.htm
and comment out the test for enable_ap_flag. This is bogus anyway, there's
no reason to disable this.
if(/* enable_ap_flag == 1 || */ fbwifi_enable == '1' || enable_extender_flag == '1')
setDisabled(true, form.allow_access);

Is Armor (or Parental Controls) enabled on this system?
My RBR50 shows these options:
No, those aren't enabled. But the RBR50 is in Access Point mode and that seems to trigger the disabling of guest access.
I vaguely recall there was a way around this, either editing some HTML on the router or poking some value on the Debug page.
