ASUS RT-AC86U in Aimesh configuration 2.4Ghz Guest Wifi no longer working...

[tallytr]

Newest firmware but noticed guest wifi no longer showing.
Says: Turn on wifi but it’s enabled...
Only guest wifi, other 2.4Ghz devices connecting just fine, anybody?
This used to work just fine...
I’ve disabled 2.4Ghz guest wifi for the picture only but when enabled the yellow text saying turn wifi on still shows...
5Ghz guest wifi works just fine...

Radios are ON under Wireless\Professional?
Physical WiFi switch is ON?
Firmware was reset to factory defaults after upgrading?
Router has been power cycled?
Router has been reset again and re-configured?

Still no WiFi signal visible to a WiFi analyzer app? Call ASUS Tech Support to RMA router.

BTW, this forum is for wired routers only... maybe that's it!

OK, got it working again, simple reboot fixed it, the message to turn on Wi-Fi after 2.4Ghz in the Guest Networking disappeared.
I usually do not reset to factory defaults after upgrading.
I read you can't simply restore from saved config file but have to enter everything manually, a real killer I'd say, no?

Yes, but...

This FAQ clarifies when/why/how to factory default reset.
