Issue has been sent to engineers. Disable Smart Connect and the guest network will be properly turned off.
FurryNutz:
Hopefully he'll see this or call in. Was a short lived user. ::)

Are there any plans for a firmware update to support 160 Mhz channel width? I would really like that feature for this sweet router.
FurryNutz:
Thanks for posting. I'll pass this on for review.
Possible that the HW doesn't support 160Mhz however. Something D-Link will have to look into.

Thanks for your quick response. The BCM4366 radio does indeed support 160Mhz and the BCM4709C0 processor of the DIR-885l is the processor of choice for that, so that's why I asked. Right now Intel has released its Wireless AC-9260 mini-wifi (laptop) card that supports 2x2 160Mhz for a link speed of 1750 Mbps. From what I can tell, there are no 4x4 80Mhz cards currently available for laptops, so this has me concerned that I may never see the full connection speed of this router.
I'm not sure for how long Dlink supports new features for a given platform. Do you think it's a bit wishful to hope for 160Mhz support for this router?
