Bug: Telus My WifiGuest activates Guest network without password
Here is the freebie for devs. Let me know once fixed or if there is a workaround. Got another Guest Wifi bug will report once this is fixed.
I got the Telus Wifi Hub running on Fiber optic network. I used Telus My-Wifi app (latest iOS app) to activate guest network by toggling the 'Guest Wi-fi Enabled' to green and entered a new password. It activates the guest network but makes it as a open free network. Basically any device can join the guest network without any password. This defeats the security purpose. To test it out whether the App is caching this, I completely deleted the iOS app and reinstalled the app. It seems to always keep the toggle on. Not sure if I can trust guest Wifi (and its main Wifi might be hackable as well) will be secure as any device can connect to it.

By enabling the guest network you are making a change to the router. Removing the app and reinstalling will not change that.
You can modify the password by using Edit for the Guest network in the app.

Looks like I didn't make it clear. The issue is if I activate the guest network with a customized guest password using the Telus MyWifi app, it still activates the guest network as the open network meaning without any password any device can join the guest network and that is the issue.
What if you log on to the router via browser and set the guest network password, does it behave the same or does it turn on the security?
