Sonos won't forget WiFi network, won't let me change to different one

Hoping someone can help with this as it has become very frustrating.

My sonos, for whatever reason, wants to connect to my guest network (which has a password prompt at a login page). I'd prefer it to use my non-guest network (2.5 GHz b/g) so I can just provide the password directly in the setup. Whenever I go to advanced settings --> wireless setup it shows that "Sonos will be set up on: mynetwork-guest". I click "Use another network". In the net screen I am allowed to select a new network, so I select "mynetwork" (which appears in the list, and is the network I WANT to use). When I select it and hit "Use this Network" the next screen still says "Sonos will be set up on mynetwork-guest". It seems to not recognize at all that i'm changing the network. It does this no matter what network I choose.

Why is this important? Because since I can't provide sonos with the network password (given it forces you to a login page), Sonos never actually connects to the wifi network. And so if I want it available on my network, I need to keep it hard-wired into the modem :/

Anyone have any ideas?

The nuclear option is to factory reset the Sonos. Not a problem if you have no favourites, services or Sonos playlists created as these will be wiped.

If that is not an option can you perhaps disable to guest network temporarily?
