Model: Archer AX21

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 1.1.4 Build 20230219 rel.69802(5553)

The router is updated to the latest firmware.

I have Enabled just the 2.4GHz Guest network, but I see the 5GHz Guest network on all my smartphones, and I can log in using the Guest password.

What is going on????

EDIT:

It looks like enabling Smart Connect is causing this.

Smart connect turns both on using the same ssid. That is one reason I do not use smart connect.
