Hi Peter, No I wouldn’t delete anything until we can work out how you are now connected to your Wi-Fi Network as ‘Guest’ instead of your administrator name you have always connected with. Are you connected to the 5GHz on your dual-band Network, not the 2.5GHz? Have you made any changes to your 5GHz or 2.5GHz Network. Are your Time Machine backups working correctly?
I have never heard of this happening before. I’ll give it more thought overnight and tomorrow as I have another job to finish tonight. I’ll get back to you if & when I can think clearly about this issue.
