Can I enable a guest network on my Max W161 when it is in bridge mode?

I am using a G36 as my cable modem, router, and core WiFi network.  I just added a W161 main and satellite mesh unit and installed the W161 in bridge mode so we will have one, unified network throughout the house. I was able to enable a guest network on the G36, but the Surfboard Central app won’t seem to let me activate a guest network on the W161. The W161 broadcasts a guest network, but I can’t configure it with a password. I’d like to have guest network coverage throughout the house, not just where the G36 broadcasts its WiFi signal. Is a guest network not configurable if I’m using the W161 in bridge mode? If it is, how can I set it up (or, put another way, what am I doing wrong)? Thanks!

Can you add W31 as a satellite to a W161?

I have the 161 up and working with its base and satellite that comes with it but was trying to add an additional W31 as a satellite but there is no QR to scan so manually entered the S/N and MAC.  Moved on from that step and says to wait for the status to go solid blue before continuing but never gets there...is just flashing blue and white.
