Guest Wi-Fi

I have just noticed that my Wi-Fi is now showing an “open” Guest Wi-Fi option.
Can anyone please tell me how to turn this off /disable it, as I am unable to see any option in my Router settings, or even see the SSID when I login to the Router on .254.

Which hub/router are you using, as AFAIK, the PN Hubs do not have that option? A screenshot of the display would help.

@Brigadier welcome to the forum.

Plusnet Hubs do not offer a guest wireless option, which hub are you using?

Assuming that it's a Plusnet Hub 2 try switching it off, leave it for 30 seconds, then back on.

If that doesn't work then factory reset it by pushing a paperclip or similar into the reset hole. Keep the switch closed until you get a green light then leave it to reconfigure itself.

These hubs use adapted BT Firmware and it sounds as though yours has booted incorrectly

Re: Guest Wi-Fi

Thanks everyone for your prompt responses.
I have managed to track down that “somehow “ (certainly didn’t do it on purpose) I had managed to select a “Guest Network” option on my Mesh setup in error.
Now turned off, feel a little bit stupid.
Thanks again for all your help/advice.
