Your provider has likely furnished you with a modem/router or gateway device. Unfortunately, this type of device will not allow the Guest Network feature to function correctly.
So, before we go any further, we need for you to confirm on the device that you call your "modem". What is the make and model number of this device?
The AirPort Extreme requires a simple modem. This type of modem will have only one Ethernet port.....something like the example below:
If your "modem" has multiple Ethernet ports.....something like the example below.....the Guest Network function will not work correctly with this type of device.

Is the airport extreme running in full router mode? Or bridged to another airport running in full router mode, by ethernet or wireless, with guest wireless turned on.. the guest wireless function will not work.
We don't know why it was left in the v6 airport utility.. it has tricked many people including myself.
The extreme is connected to my modem that was provided by internet provider by Ethernet. I've read that there is a box to select to enable guest network on the utility app but I'm not able to find that screen. I open the app select base station and then it shows me the network I created, guest network below that and then advanced settings none of which when I open give me the enable guest network box
