Upgrade Broke 2.4GHz Private Network; how to fix?

Technical Support for Routers

Hi. I have a GL.iNet GL-AR750S (NOR/NAND) running OpenWrt 22.03.4 r20123-38ccc47687. Some kind of unattended update occurred recently, or something, and I no longer have the option of having a normal, private network on 2.4GHz, which is not a good thing. I can have a guest network on it, but I don’t want that. I have a Intel Computer Stick that I use as a server and it cannot see the 5GHz network.

How do I fix this so either:

  1. I have a 2.4GHz private network that can access other local machines, or
  2. the 2.4GHz Guest network can access local machines.

Note: as a workaround, changing Luci/Networking/Wireless/[SSID]/Network from ‘guest’ to ‘lan’ did work, but this a less than ideal solution.

Thank you.

It used to be you could have a regular wireless network AND a guest network on 2.4GHz, but now you can only have a guest network.

It turns out I can access all the devices on all the networks regardless of their being on the guest network so it’s not too much if a big deal but it was a surprise.
