Guest vlan? Smart.

Blocking 80/443 knowing all to well everything depends on those: evil.

Throttling to 56k: the original original poster just being a dick.

Took 45 minutes: Maybe find another job. You're not good at it.

Conclusion: The sister was right. Evil incompetent dick.

Bit harsh.

The OpenWRT guest wifi guide isn't a simple switch like you would get on your OEM router, but involves manually setting up a bridge device, a new firewall zone, and a new AP on one of your radios.

This can take some time if you want to do things the right way. 10 minutes to setup with no extra config steps. Add another 10 if you need to move around your firewall rules, and another 20 for random debugging.

Although, you set it up once. After that it's just a checkbox.

and of course you need to tag the new network on all your switches, routers, APs... not to forget testing and integration in your monitoring system. 45 minutes is absolutely fine.

Oh true , hadn't thought about that - I just assumed it was a single device

I have a feeling this is satire, and I'm usually the type of person to miss the joke and think it's genuine

Even if it is satire, doesn't mean we can do a full breakdown, especially for comedic value.
