Guest network does not extend thru satellites
It seems the guest network does not extend thru the satellites. From the satellites you don't even get the guest signal.

Re: Guest network does not extend thru satellites
you must be doing something wrong as if you get something like inssider on your comp and start it up you will initially see 6 orbi transmissions , if you then enable the guest wifi you see an additional 6 guest network transmissions
if you sats are too far away they may not be communicating with the router but then would have the magenta light showing

Re: Guest network does not extend thru satellites
Before you start telling people that they are doing something wrong perhaps you should know what you are talking about.
I'm on firmware V1.4.0.18

Re: Guest network does not extend thru satellites
nah , only been on orbi for 6 months
again get a propper wifi analyzer and see if you have 6 normal transmissions and 6 guest transmissions showing , if you dont the sats not working , if you do something else is wrong
the gest wifi transmission power and channels should match the main transmission power and channels for the main orbi

Re: Guest network does not extend thru satellites
I'm using wifi analyzer on google play, it pretty much confirms my conclusions that the guest network is not extending thru the satellite. BTW, you're experience is equal to mine with Orbi Guest networks, since it was just recently release so please stop telling people they are doing something wrong when you dont know what you're talking about.

Re: Guest network does not extend thru satellites
Actually it does propagagte though the satellites. Here is my network analysis. I have two sats and you can see the main router and two sats A_Guest_1 on each device in both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz ranges.
