I just activated an SBG8300 and accepted the defaults. On the default network, I’m getting 60Mbps download. On the guest network, I’m getting 300 Mbps. What’s the difference between the two, and is there any harm in using the guest network?
Solved
Guest wifi faster than default network on SBG8300

2.4ghz is a much slower network than 5ghz.
Those speeds would indicate on the primary, you connected to 2.4ghz and the guest to the 5ghz.
Are you using bandsteering? That allows devices to switch between the 2.4ghz/5ghz as needed.
You can disable it or leave it, you just need to be aware when speedtesting, which band you’re connected to
