I have: GL-AXT1800 Firmware 4.5.16 Wireguard Client setup and running IPV6 turned off I'd be happy to provide any further details needed, just let me know what you would like. On this router, the 2.4G and guest 2.4G networks aren't broadcasting. I can't find the network on multiple devices and one of my devices doesn't support 5G wifi. I have double checked that those specific networks are indeed turned on, and the SSID is not hidden. I have rebooted the router to no avail. ---

What is the channle you use for 2.4G wifi? Can you ssh to the router and use these commands and give output? ```auto ifconfig iwinfo ``` ---
