Iphone XR won’t connect to guest wifi

Linksys router. Started happening recently. Iphone XR won’t connect to guest wifi in our airbnb. Iphone 8 still works but newer models don’t.

The guest wifi is described as an ‘unsecure network.’ Could this be the problem? You have to sign in with a password.

Looks like there was an automatic firmware update. If yes, you should reconfigure the router.

Some settings go back to Default, enable Allow guest access.

You will then automatically receive a password for your guests.

That also happens here.

If you haven't set up automatic firmware update, you may need to update the firmware.

if you have a Mac use IP Scanner Home app to sign in to the router, see:
