So found out the embarrassing way when checking my traffic the short of it is I setup a AP as Repeater it was on the guest network so its isolated but still can't believe I made this mistake that can happen very easily due to the default set to open and when you make the SSID it set to use the default for Security Profile. I managed to set all the other networks with the right Security Profile just not for the guest network.

Summarize:

I wish for the default to not be set to open just by default its set to WPA2/3 with a random Pre-shared key that can then be changed after.

    Hi @PeterUK,

    The latest firmware(V7.00) requires users to change the default SSID setting and security at the first time via the wizard.

    Does this fulfill your request?
