Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.9 Build 20240724 Rel. 39578

At least one of my wired PCs shows connected to the Guest Network in Windows Network and Internet Settings.  But on the Deco app, it is listed under the Main Network.  Which is it?  And if Guest, how do I get my wired PC on the Main Network?  I'm concerned about security.

The name displayed by Windows for the "network" has no meaning and no impact.  

As there is no name technically associated to an Ethernet "network", Windows attempts to assign a meaningful name, to help identifying the "network".

The computer was perhaps previously connected to the guest wifi network of the Deco, and Windows is assuming it can reuse that name for the Ethernet connection.
