Hi Ronni, thanks for your response. I really don’t recall setting up a Guest network - having had it for ~8 years I can’t recall. In all that time I have never used a Guest network nor seen the need to so I am happy to delete it - but don’t know how to. If I did delete the Guest network, would that prevent me auto connecting and hence interrupt the TC backups going on? I’d prefer to delete the Guest network after I’ve resolved the auto connect as Admin.
