I can set the Wifi Name but it displays a hard text of 'Open System'. I don't see any way to set the password via browser. See SS. The router is Cylindrical Wifi-Hub (ARCA). I also had a telus technician to walk this through, according to him this seems a weird issue, IMHO a security issue from Telus itself better escalate it before its too late

5 years agoTry resetting your router, and setting the guest Wi-Fi through the web interface. You should be able to set a password.
I see the App as a convenience option, rather than my main means of interaction with the device.

I tried doing hard router reset but it's still the same issue from web interface and app as well.
Do you guys see the same issue on your end? Can you activate guest network from web or app interface and then set a customized guest password and once activated, then the guest network is not an open network meaning when you click on guest Wifi network it asks you to enter the valid password and then when you enter a valid password then only the device can connect to the new guest network. Can you try it and see if the above steps work?

I have the same issue and was hoping you found the solution.
If you did, can you please share it?

Yes, my guest network was set up through the web interface, and requires a password.
